Recently a friend brought up an excellent point about being a young, single woman. In a nutshell (help! I'm in a nutshell!) she mentioned there being a lot of crap that comes with it.
Exhibit A: You're having lunch with a friend (who is in a relationship) and they tell you for the 13th time that they have someone they'd like you to meet. BUT THIS TIME IT'S DIFFERENT! They know the last guy they hooked you up with turned out to be a bust and you had nothing in common with them, which should have been obvious considering his screen name was CatholicJedi, but you really need to give this one a chance. Come on, don't you want to meet someone? You don't want to be an old, single, haggard broad forever do you? Your eggs are going to dry up soon!
Fact: We (usually) do not feel left out just because we're not in a relationship. We do, however, feel like a charity case when you feel obligated to hook us up with every unattached guy you or your boyfriend meet. Being single is not a disease and it won't rub off on you. It's not contagious. It won't kill us. Unless we're the bitter cranky single girl who scares men off by acting like they're "the one" and she will settle for anyone, we probably do not need help finding someone. However, if they are excessively attractive, own 3 classic muscle cars and have a summer house in Venice Beach, throw 'em at us! We won't protest.
Exhibit B: Your married-with-children friend asks if you'll watch her kids since she will be gone at a work conference all day and her husband can't stay home all day with them. As soon as you get there she is on her way out, and he's lounging on the couch not quite ready to go wherever it is he has to be. Your friend insists he gets up and leaves since you're there and "what's the point in you both being there?" He might as well go and get his stuff done, right? All the while giving him the wonky stink eye saying "I don't want you hanging out with my single female friends when I'm not around, now get your arse up and do something before I have a mental breakdown at the thought of you alone with my single friend. Nevermind the fact that we hang out together all the time and she's completely repulsed by the fact that I married you considering you're as useful and appealing as a big tub of moldy peaches, but regardless, I don't want you in the room together." Oh yea. The homewrecker stance.
Fact: Single does not equal slut. We're not out to seduce every man we see and we don't assume every man wants us because we're single. We are not a code orange terror threat and we have zero interest in tearing apart your relationship.
Exhibit C: Your friend is having problems with her boyfriend and confides in you because it's "different" talking to you than it is to the other girls who are in relationships because all it leads into is them complaining about their relationship. So they go to you, the perpetually single girl who hasn't had a relationship in over a year yet is more capable of giving sound and unbiased relationship advice than the people who are in solid relationships.
Fact: We give good advice because usually, the topic of conflict in your relationship is one of many reasons why we're single. We're tired of dealing with relationships that stress us out, yet we understand how hard it is to deal with and know that advice like "dump him" is not reasonable. We will listen and we will help you, and hopefully won't change the topic to our problems. Or we will at least wait until you're finished. Then we'll go on to tell you how we don't know what to do between James, Travis and Mark, and we know we're leading them all on but it's so hard to choose just one of the many charming and attractive men that want to court us so badly. Do you think you can help us decide?
Sigh. Being single isn't always easy, either.
***Of course there are exceptions. Sometimes single does equal slut, sometimes women want to be hooked up whenever the occasion comes around, and sometimes we give horrible advice such as "well at least you're not single!!!" But for the sake of this article let's just put that all behind us, ok?***

Wonderfully Simple Homemade Wood Polish Recipe
I hunted and searched through my brain for a funny and/or inspiring wood story to accompany this post. Perhaps something about trees and how they symbolize the seasons we all go through as human beings? Maybe something about the Virgin-Mary-shaped stain I left in our old wood coffee table from fingernail polish remover?
Maybe no. Nothing was good enough or funny enough, because instead, my mushy brain decided to get the theme song from the Woody Woodpecker Show stuck on repeat. (ha ha hahaha!)
The good news is, this wood polish recipe will do the exact opposite to your wooden goodies that Woody Woodpecker would. The bad news is, now you have that song stuck in your head, too. Sorry. Stupid head songs are the price I demand for my stunning expertise.
So I'll just shut up now and show you the fancy picture (how do you like the new "frame" program I worked with today?) of exactly what we're about to make:
I don't really own a lot of beautiful wood things, but a few weeks ago I did buy these adorable wooden bowls at a thrift shop for a whopping $1.50 (for the entire set, people, sheesh).
The only caveat was that they were in pretty rough shape – the kind of shape wood tends to get in when it's washed and dirtied and forgotten for years at a time. The perfect task for a homemade beeswax wood cleaner, wouldn't you agree?
Here's what they looked like before I took the wood polish to them:
I can't wait for you to see the final before and after picture. The last thing I expected was that all the white scuff marks would disappear, but they did! Oh yes. Gone. Poof. Like Wile E. Coyote from a high desert cliff.
This Wood Polish is Economical AND Effective
If, for some reason, you've been skittish about working with beeswax thus far, this is the best starter recipe to get your feet wet with. It's so simple to make, and it dirties nothing but a spoon (if you make it the way I did).
Best of all, it only uses TWO ingredients (unless you want to toss in some essential oil): Beeswax and olive oil. If you don't have beeswax, you can always buy it at Mountain Rose Herbs or your local natural food store (or a local beekeeper!).
I did some rough estimating, and the homemade wood polish in the quantity I made cost right around $0.45 or less for about 1/2 c. of wood polish. This will last me months, though if you have a lot of wood to polish, you might have to replenish your supply more often (or double the recipe).
This wood polish is great for any type of wood, AND you can even use it to condition and clean up your cutting boards, if you so desire. It doesn't just bring your wood back to shiny, rich life, it also protects and cuts down on cleaning time for a while after you use it.
Here's another awesome thing about the beeswax wood polish: It doubles as a quick dry skin balm. (This is if you don't include any essential oils in your recipe.) If you ever run out of your hand or elbow moisturizer, just reach for the wood polish.
Betcha Pledge can't say the same thing, now can they? So there!
Easy-Peasy Homemade Wood Polish Recipe
Even though there are a lot of pictures in this post, you should be aware – yet again – that this is ridiculously easy to make. Don't feel overwhelmed. I was just having fun with the camera today. Wood is photogenic.
Here's what you need:
- 2 Tbsp finely grated beeswax or beeswax beads
- 6-8 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (6 if you want a firmer polish, 8 if you want your polish to be a little squishier)
- A small glass container
- A pot with about 2 inches of water in it
- A spoon
First, you want to heat up your water to steaming (not boiling). Once the water is pretty warm, put your beeswax in the glass container and then set the glass container gently into the warm-hot water, making sure the water does NOT sink into the beeswax or overflow in any way, shape or form.
By the way, doing it this way really helps avoid any beeswax mess and cuts down on cleaning time immensely (to almost zero minutes). Otherwise, you could always just use a real double boiler to melt everything, and then you'll have to clean your double boiler after you pour it in your container.
Next, melt the beeswax completely.
No lumps or bumps.
Just melted beeswax.
Once the beeswax is melted, pour in the 6-8 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil and stir very, very well. You can remove the container from the hot water before you add the olive oil, but you might have to reheat it anyway, because the room-temperature olive oil might make the beeswax set up immediately, leaving you with big clumps floating in your oil.
You're done. Leave it alone.
Oh, unless you want to add 10-15 drops of a lemon, tea tree, or woody – like pine or cedarwood – essential oil. Do that now and stir well.
And then leave it alone. To set up. To get firm. To be ready for your nimble, adept hands and a rag. Because once your beeswax furniture polish is ready, you won't be able to put it down until all the wooden things in your home gleam like a baby's bottom.
Yes. That's right. I said babies' bottoms gleam.
They do, right? I haven't seen one in ages. I'm probably thinking about clean car windshields. They're easy to confuse.
How to Use Your Wood Polish
First, whatever wood things you want to clean, make sure they're lightly dusted and free of any major gunk and stains. You don't want to trap any of that in there.
Next, you just dip your fingers or a very clean rag into the polish and scoop out a little bit.
Massage it into the wood, being careful not to miss any spots. Though you WILL be able to tell if you miss a spot – the difference is that pronounced.
You can either wipe it off immediately, if you're in a giant rush, or – even better – after you've coated the wood with your wood polish, leave it alone for 20 minutes to an hour and then come back and wipe it all down again with a clean, dry rag.
Think of it as the difference between conditioning your hair and using a hot oil treatment. The longer you leave it, the more goodness soaks in.
And that's it! You're done, until the next time.
Without further ado, here is the before and after picture of one of the bowls I wiped down. And I didn't even WAIT 20 minutes to an hour to wipe it off; imagine how perfect it would be if I had.
I wish I owned more wood now.
You guys have to try this out, if you haven't already. It's a little addictive.
The more I think about it, the more it seems that being crunchy and making my own homemade cleaners has turned cleaning into an adventure now instead of a chore. If I could, I'd clean the whole world.
Today, though, I'll just settle for some bowls.
Do you have any wood cleaning tips, or a favorite wood polish recipe you've used before? Think you'll try this one?
P.S. Feel free to yell at me if you really DO have the Woody Woodpecker song stuck in your head now. I deserve it.

I have a question: If I use this polish on a wooden table, will a hot or wet plate make a white ring?
If you let it have enough time to absorb in you will be fine.
I just made this recipe and tried it out on a battered but much loved table I own and it works amazingly well. My only quibble is that now that the wax and oil has set, it's VERY firm, and I used 7 Tbsp of olive oil. I'm tempted to reheat it and add more olive oil! Is this possible? Thanks.
You can reheat it and add more oil. I make it and add oil till I get the consistency I want. I have reheated it and added more when it was not the consistency I wanted.
Thank you! :)
FYI people, mineral oil is a PETROLEUM by-product.
Mineral oil? It is never mentioned in the recipe…….
It says EVOO….
I actually had to re read the recipe after your comment (I thought I was going nuts…..)
I suggest you read it too. Maybe you misread mineral oil (or am I just nor seeing it?)
RT…we all know mineral oil is a petroleum by-product…that is why we read articles like this or use recipes like this…so that we can avoid toxic products…no where in this article does it mention or suggest using mineral oil…
Hi! I'm thinking of making this but would like to use orange oil. Would I just replace 2 Tbsp of the EVOO with the orange oil? Thanks for sharing this recipe!
That depends on what sort of orange oil you're planning to use. I made a spray conditioner for my furniture last year using Citrasolve mixed with melted coconut oil, and my bookcases LOVED IT. My home smelled fantastic and everything was beautifully shiny.
If you're wanting to use orange essential oil just for the fragrance, you could probably use a few drops.
I'm honestly not certain what the difference is between Citrasolve and orange essential oil. I need to do some research now!
My hubbie found me a similar recipe and I made up a batch using beeswax and jojoba oil. I used it as a wood sealer for my wood wine crates – containers for my organic herb garden. I got the beeswax at my local farmers market cheap (he sells me a gallon bag for $8). The jojoba oil was expensive at 4oz for $10 and I used the entire bottle – along with about 1/4 cup beeswax. So, my next batch I will be using olive oil instead of the jojoba. Even with the jojoba oil though I made one batch and it sealed 4 large wood crates. The crates look beautiful after the sealer is applied. I applied the sealer using an old cotton sock and I use the sock to polish all my garden tools now as well. The wood handles look better… and as a bonus dirt doesn't stick to the metal as much….making clean up a lot easier.
Hi !!! OK I HAD PURCHASED A REPLICA OF A 1800 LARGE HUTCH AND TABLE ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO.I WAS TOLD IT WAS FINISHED WITH ONLY A BUFFING WAX SO IT IS NO WAY A HIGH SHINE FINISH.. OK HERE IS MY QUESTION.. IT HAS BECOME DIRTY IN SPOTS LIKE A BUILT UP ON THE EDGES WHERE YOUR ARMS SIT WHEN WE ARE HAVING DINNER… OK HOW CAN I CLEAN THE DIRT OFF BEFORE I WAX IT?? ANYTHING LIKE MURPHYS OIL SOAP IS NOT RECCOMENDED FOR UNFINISHED WOOD. ANY SUGGESTIONS???
I don't see why you can't use Murphy's: I use it on old wood where the finish is long gone, and it is very very good. It is mild and I think it would work fine, and it is safe! Just be sure to let that wood dry well before you refinish it: dry porous wood will soak up that Murphy's and water. Or you could try some vinegar in a small area to see if that cuts it. Vinegar is also used ina lot of homemade wood cleaning products and is often recommended for wood floors, but these are usually sealed, of course.
ABOVE IS MY COMMENT… question to betty my name is teresayounghans
Hi! The only kind of beeswax I was able to get is a bar of it. Would you suggest grating it on a box grater before melting? What amount of wax would you suggest I use at that point? Also, what size jam jar did you use? The scale is hard to tell in your photos. Thank you so much for your help in advance :)
Hey Bridget!
I have block beeswax, too. I grate it on a regular box grater, though you may want to rub some of the olive oil on your grater first, for easier cleanup.
I use the same holes I would use for cheddar cheese, and bump the amount to two HEAPING tablespoons. (I could use a finer grater, but it would be harder to clean!) If you use finely grated beeswax, then you can go with Leslie's recommendation of two tablespoons. But the exact quantities are not critical, so don't stress!
As a side note, this works amazingly well. Bonus? It really is fun to apply, and leaves your hands very soft. I've even used it on my grandparents' old wood table, and the difference it made was amazing!
By the way, I estimate that it's eight to ten tablespoons; eight tablespoons is half a cup, so it's probably one of the baby half-cup mason jars.
Would coconut oil work as well as olive oil?
It would be firmer at lower temperatures, but it should work. It should also smell great, with the mingled fragrances of honey and coconut!
I made a spray polish last year combining orange oil with coconut oil. I've no idea how much beeswax you'd need to get this to form a paste. It would require experimentation. I suspect the orange oil, being a solvent, will require a good bit more beeswax in ratio compared to olive oil. You might want to just scent the mix to start with – using only a tablespoon, and see what that does.
I am allergic to the wooden polish using spirit etc., was in search of any natural product for polishing, luckily I have gone through your details. I felt much lucky. recently I have purchased a 100 years old wooden cupboard of 4 ft W x 5ft x 2 ft deep, wanted to polish the same. I will try this method to polish this item. I am dreaming the beauty of the same. can you please let me know how long this polish lasts, How frequent I should polish the same. as there was a question in the previous message whether any mark will be left if a wet plate or a water glass is left on the table. Pl clarify the same. Thank you very much in advance.
Beeswax has an indefinite shelf life if it's stored correctly in a cool, dry place. Olive Oil has a shelf life of 3-4 years.

I was wondering if this could be used on unsealed wood floors as well as furniture, do you know? My home is an older one, with unsealed wooden floors.
Dear Crunchy Betty, I rent a 1950s bungalo that has been used and abused for more than 20 years. The landlord is not interested in putting much into the house to fix it up, only emergencies. The solid oak wood floors throughout the house are stained and void of 80% of their original finish. I'd like them to look nicer as long as I'm the one that has to look at them day after day. I've used the old vinegar and water cleaner, as well as commercial cleaners, and the commercial shining products. OK, but not achieving the effect I'd like. I just read your beeswax/olive oil recipe for wood. Could I use this recipe on my wood floors? Or do you have any better ideas? You seem like a pretty smart cookie, so I'm hoping you can help me out.
I use this on the wood floor in my kitchen. Rub it on and then buff lightly with a soft cloth (or socks:). I love it, gives a nice glow to the floor. I use it every couple of months as the kitchen gets constant use.
I can't wait to try this. Recently I began collecting wood bowls from thrift stores. They're so plentiful and inexpensive. And beautiful, but most need a lot of TLC. I've painted some with Annie Sloans Chalk Paint (not for use with food) and they're beautiful.
The only thing about using olive oil blended in with the beeswax is that olive oil will turn rancid. I would want to use something else
I use coconut oil.

Informative article, еxactly wɦat I was looking for.
Why visitors still make use of to read news papers when in this technological
world everything is accessible on web?
I am cleaning out my mom's house and came across an old unfinished baby doll bed my sis had made some 40 years ago. It needs cleaning, then I was going to sand the edges and surfaces and get it ready for the newest baby girl in our family for her baby dolls. I was thinking about what oil to use to treat the furniture and realized a basic linseed oil may not be best for my neice. She is still teething, etc. so I want to know a kid friendly oil to use. This recipe seems simple enough and I just want to double check that it is non toxic and she can play with her baby dolls in this baby doll bed safely. Thanks, so glad i came across this site.
Kim…the olive oil is not toxic…just make sure you are using extra virgin organic olive oil…it is pure and safe…and as long as you are using actual beeswax and not a synthetic that is safe and non-toxic also…
You can also substitute coconut oil. Using organic coconut oil, your niece will be perfectly safe.
Has anyone tried this on kitchen cabinets yet? I would think it would make them super shiny. You would have to clean well first I guess? Does anyone have experience?
We would like try this on a wood dog crate we are making. Does this go rancid after time or should it be fine to use once to seal the wood crate?
Mineral oil is inert, and is safely used in many ingestible products and skin products. Food oils, on the other hand will turn rancid, as organic material is designed to do.
Very great post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wanted to mention that I have truly enjoyed surfing around your weblog posts.
After all I will be subscribing on your feed and I hope you write once more very soon!
I have used Bee wax with pure Coconut oil and applied to my Old cupboard, In India I could not get the Virgin olive oil, I have got the Mat finish,could not get the glossy finish, anyway I am happy with the finish. I am glad that I have not used any chemicals.
Does this recipe work on unsealed wood? If not, any tips for caring for unsealed wood? Thanks!
It's 90 degrees here and time to sell my children's (basically unused) wooden dollhouse. I made this recipe with the smaller ratio of oil:wax and added some cedarwood essential oil to finish. I just finished polishing up the dollhouse and not only does it look beautiful, but cedarwood is a wonderful oil for its scent. It almost makes me want to keep it…
It's awesome designed for me to have a site, which is useful
in support of my experience. thanks admin
Can this formula be used on parquet floor?
Great recipe. I've just polished a table, and, as you suggested, then felt the need to polish everything wooden in my house. All shiny and gorgeous, thank you. I was hoping to post some photos but that doesn't seem to work, so you will just have to imagine my glowing timber :)

Online Street School
Saturday 19 April 2008
The web has spurred a revival of street photography, and now there's a site devoted to students of this exciting and challenging approach to candid photography.
Friend of In-Public Mason Resnick has launched a new website, The World at Street Level, which promotes street photography by showing student work, and providing resources for aspiring street photographers.
The site is dedicated to the work of students of the Perfect Picture School of Photography online course, Street Photography: Finding Order in Chaos. It's now showing photos by students who've completed the first session of the course.
The World at Street Level offers galleries featuring students who have completed Resnick's street photography course, as well as information about street photography, and testimonials from students who have taken the course.
Mike Mackay of Lichfield, UK, says the class "has ignited in me a passion for photography that I'm finding difficult to contain. A great course!" Meanwhile, Gary Budke of San Fransisco, CA, says that the class "has opened my eyes to a whole new type of photography."
The four-week course in street photography begins on April 25. Registration is now open here.
In-Public was set up in 2000 to provide a home for Street Photographers.
Our aim is to promote Street Photography and to continue to explore its possibilities, we are a non commercial collective. All the photographers featured here have been invited to show their work because they have the ability to see the unusual in the everyday and to capture the moment. The pictures remind us that, if we let it, over-familiarity can make us blind to what's really going on in the world around us.Read more

I. Introduction
I.A. Message from the Rector
Dear Faculty of JMU:
On behalf of the Board of Visitors, I would like to thank the Faculty Handbook Committee for their work on revising this latest version of the handbook. The Board of Visitors approved the recent revisions to the handbook at the June 5, 2015 board meeting, to be effective July 1, 2015.
As a resource, the Faculty Handbook is designed to outline the duties, rights and responsibilities of faculty members and be a guide for the relationship between the faculty members and the university. It does not contain all the university's policies and procedures and should not be considered to be a part of the university's contractual agreement with the individual faculty members.
Our shared mission to educate the students of James Madison University and prepare them to be contributing citizens in their respective communities is vital to the purpose of the institution. I hope this newest version of the Faculty Handbook assists you in your professional endeavors.
Thank you for your commitment to James Madison University.
Michael M. Thomas

What ancient Sith Lord would you like to see?
I feel like there will be an Sith Lord from the old times in the game and I just want to touch base with everyone and see which one you would enjoy seeing and/or fighting.
None. There are only two Sith.
I know man! That's insane because you didn't fight a Darth Maul simulation in the first game.
ot: I think it would be cool to see Starkiller go to Korriban in search of Answers and to stumble into the tome of Darth <insert>, although it has happened many, many Times in other games and books, so it would have to be done well to not be samey. :)
Can't we forget the ancient sith lords already?
You spelled Revan wrong in your poll. ;)
God, none of them! No offense, but this is very fanboyish and stupid. Such a thing might work for KOTOR, but not with The Force Unleashed. The story is set up so differently that such a thing would be extremely out of place.
No ancient Sith, no cloning, no resurrections, no having Galen block lightsaber blades with his hands or eating stars for breakfast. None of that crap, please!
Hey man settle down. It's not out of the question...I mean you fought Darth Maul...so why not have Galen find a holocron? Or Proxy uses ancient training simulation? I don't think it'll happen but its fun to speculate.
Because that is completely contrary to the game's theme. KOTOR was very heavily dipped in Expanded Universe lore, so name-dropping ancient Sith Lords left and right was fine. TFU has a completely different feel: it lives off of what most people know from the movies, so drudging up expanded universe lore - especially from the more ancient times in the Star Wars universe - would be completely out of sync with the feel of the game.
Maul's presence in the first game was completely unlike that because he was a character from the films, so it was semi-acceptable (once you get over how random the encounter was, but I guess that's the point). Encountering Naga Sadow's holocron just would not jive with such a game. If the franchise had been very heavily steeped in Expanded Universe lore from the get-go, fine; but it was intended to cater more to the movie crowd.
You get me?
Since they seem to have "Galen" coming back to life, I see nothing wrong with having him fight a resurrected or ghost Sith Lord; it's no less ridiculous.
Just for the hell of it, I vote for Darth Revan. I want to see Revan get the **** kicked out of him by Vader's apprentice.
Revan is a MUST, if ancient sith lords are placed in TFU2. But then again, wouldn't that mess with Star Wars cannonicity ? Anyway, if he's just a memory or a force ghost, I'd be glad to see him in-game.
Don't forget, this is Lucasarts...they play darts with cannon :)
Ha! ain't THAT the truth
Well I would be happy if either Bane, Revan or Plagueis showed up the game. Other than Vader and Sidious those 3 are my favourite Sith Lords.
As if dragging Maul from the grave for part 1 wasn't bad enough. :(
Let's have a Ravan clone with Luke, Supershadow and Anikon dna! Uberpwnage. [/sarcasm]
But seriously. No ancient Sith Lords. Referencing is okay, blatantly raping canon (what they'll probably do) isn't, imo.
If you'd want to add something, maybe have Galen visit Korriban and some tombs, like Kotor did.
Maybe they could intertwine with the Swtor team to sketch Revan's past. Some clues in this game, some clues in Swtor...but LA wouldnt do that.
Augh! So...Many...Darth Revan...Misspellings in this thread!!!
Meh, I vote none. The rule of two is fine enough, as much as I love Revan I like to stick with reality
i personally would think darth plagueis would be more related to the story then anything :D imagine if starkiller had a sort of vision about darth plaueis with plagueis revealing all of the emperors secretes and weaknesses ( as far fetched as that sounds)
Would be cool to fight him and maybe gain his respect.
And yer as for reven, i dont think he would really have any relevence in the story lol
as much as i also love him.
Revan FTW
Think about it,he was on his way back to known space from the unknown regions,about to warn the Republic about the sith invasion,then mandalorian neocrusaders bash him over the head with a brick,knock him out freeze him in carbonite to sell him as a slave ,then the mandalorian base gets attacked,later abandoned then he is left alone....THEN about 3,970 years later, our hero Galen Marek's ship breaks down,he is forced to crash-land on mandalore,in desperate need of supplies he goes to an abandoned mandalorian fort,where he discovers a frozen Revan.then he takes him ,and with their combined bad-assery they team up and slap the emperor and vader senseless.
The reason I'm saying Darth Plagueis and not Exar Kun is 1: It could tie in with Palpatinel; and 2: I dont' know anything more about him than was described by Palpatine in Ep. 3
Darth Revan - Only because he was EPIC for his time and starkiller is EPIC at this time
Epic vs Epic = !@$?!^&*....yes...it must happen

In the current issue of Golden Isles Magazine (January/February 2012) on shelves now is an article on a new Buffalo Farm located just north of Darien, GA.
I photographed the buffalo and the family that runs the ranch for the article. Like most photo shoots for magazines, I learned a lot and had fun doing it. I also think I got some good shots out of it.
The family was very nice and taught me a lot about the bison. Seems they can be quite tougher than regular cattle to deal with. They are more territorial and will charge you more often, but are also more sensitive and can die from being over stressed.
Check out the photos here and look for some good bison meat to be available locally. If you haven't had it, you should try it. I love it.

Controlled burns are to take place in the Buffalo National River area.
The first burn is scheduled to take place Wednesday in southern Marion County, about seven miles southeast of Flippin.
The Arkansas Forestry Commission and the National Park Service are collaborating on the project, which involves an area larger than 11,000 acres. The burn will take about 30 days to complete.
For safety reasons, the entire Lower Buffalo Wilderness area is being closed to the public during the entire burn period.
The closing will occur on the north side of the Buffalo River inside the Lower Buffalo Wilderness.
The burn is to reduce the volume of fuels that could possibly lead to catastrophic wildfires. Prescribed burns also promote the restoration of post oak savannas and cedar glades areas.

A man accused of holding a woman captive and then beating and raping her at gunpoint was sentenced today in Shasta County.
27-year-old Jermaine Barkley was sentenced 59 years plus 80 years to life for forcible rape, forcible copulation, assault with a firearm, battery causing serious bodily injury, false imprisonment, possession of a firearm and ammunition by a felon, criminal threats and possession of cocaine and methamphetamine. Back in February he pleaded not guilty to all 10 counts.
The evidence in court showed that on February 8, 2012 Barkley raped the victim multiple times and struck her numerous times in the face. After Barkley fell asleep, the victim was able to escape the apartment wearing only partial clothing on the top half of her body.
When investigators searched Barkley's apartment they noticed that he had tried to clean up the crime scene by hiding the victim's belongings.
The Shasta County District Attorney's office said Barkley must serve 85% of the 59 year sentence and 85% of the 80 year sentence for a total of 118 years before he is eligible for parole.
The Shasta Women's Refuge and Family Justice Center also issued a statement regarding Barkley's sentencing.
"We are pleased today at the life sentence handed down to convicted rapist, Jermaine Barkley," Executive Director of the Shasta Women's Refuge and Family Justice Center said. "While the pain and grief to the victim in the case are unimaginable, she can rest easier knowing that he'll never be able to do this again. We continue to pray and look forward to a day when there are no more victims and we are no longer needed."

If you have a basic knowledge of ephedrine and if the word cardio doesn't make you feel tired even before starting, then you are probably on the right track for your weight loss.
Indeed cardiovascular training is often associated to sweat, pain and boredom. Still it is one of the most effective way to burn fat. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) would destock more fat but it is a quite demanding exercise which is not recommended to people who don't already have a good physical level. Thus cardio training is a good start. Ideally you would start building a solid cardio base before trying HIIT. This preparation phase would not be lost time when you think at the list of benefits that you will get.
Benefits of cardio training alone
Proposed cardio training sessions
You could start with 3 weekly sessions of 30 minutes at moderate pace and then target 5 per week. You will see quick progress and the next step will be time to increase intensity in order to improve your endurance: warmup, target heart rate, plateau and slowdown. It is important to decrease progressively for a better muscle recovery. Unless you train for a marathon, it is better to increase the intensity rather than the volume of your exercising. You should also vary your sessions as much as you can, preventing physical and mental boredom that treadmills masochists know very well. Try another sport, run with friends, have fun.
Benefits of ephedrine for cardio training
Ephedrine can maximize these benefits due to its sympathomimetic properties.
Recommended cardio sessions with ephedrine
Depending on your goals and your timetable, our recommendation is to start building your cardio base without ephedrine, then with ephedrine for 8 weeks max, then resting 2 weeks, then cardio training with ephedrine plus caffeine (EC stack) for 8 weeks again, then rest again, then HIIT without ephedrine, and finally cycling. If you keep this track, you will lose weight. Your next challenge will be to keep it off by adapting definitely your way of life to your new weight, by keeping exercising of course but also but stabilizing your food intake in quantity and in quality.
To sum it up, cardio training alone is highly recommended for your health, and ephedrine can maximize these benefits if all safety rules are respected: initial physical condition, no previous heart disease or high blood pressure, proper dosage etc. You will find a more detailed infomation in our website.
With friends, mainly doctors, we have created a website about ephedrine, this powerful yet controversial fat burner. We provide reliable information to people who want to purchase ephedrine to lose weight. We also review online shops having ephedrine for sale, based on customer service and prices.

Merlin Carpenter: 'Tate Café'
By ROBERTA SMITH
Published: May 17, 2012
Reena Spaulings Fine Art
165 East Broadway, at Rutgers Street
Lower East Side
Through June 3
For his fourth solo exhibition at Reena Spaulings Fine Art, the British Conceptual painter Merlin Carpenter, a perennial malcontent, is settling a score with its owners, John Kelsey and Emily Sundblad, by tricking out their gallery to resemble one of the retail spaces of an institution he heartily detests: the Tate Modern in London.
The gallery's slightly elevated show space is blocked off with vaguely familiar dark-stained doors labeled "No Re-entry." Beyond them lies a fairly convincing, if scaled-down and semi-functioning, facsimile of the Tate Modern's cafe-bookstore, complete with low, square tables, black metal chairs and a bit of a banquette; a re-creation of the museum's memorably narrow counter area outfitted with paper cups, drinks and packaged food printed with the Tate brand. (Appropriate to Mr. Carpenter's view of the institution, much of it is rotting.) Also included are bright pink visitor comment cards and a large photomural that approximates the cafe's Thames River view.
A small bookstore area concentrates on Spaulings-specific items: books by the Bernadette Corporation (the collective that Mr. Kelsey helped found in 1994); postcards of paintings by Mr. Carpenter and, for the home, two pillowcases printed with pages of signatures from the gallery's sign-in book.
The motivation for "Tate Café" can be discovered in an 18-page interview-cum-press-release that Mr. Kelsey and Ms. Sundblad conducted with Mr. Carpenter. Alternately tedious, self-indulgent and insightful, it covers the misunderstandings and hurt feelings surrounding the dealers' appropriation of Mr. Carpenter's work for their contribution to "Pop Life," a 2009 exhibition at the Tate Modern (in which they participated as an artist named Reena Spaulings). One of the offending works is a pair of tights printed with phrases from Mr. Carpenter's graffiti paintings ("Die Collector Scum") that was exhibited in the Tate's cafe and is on display here.
This exercise in institutional critique as payback is all a bit hermetic and self-referential. But the cafe is a great place to sit and perhaps wade through the interview, savoring the public-private tension between the slightly mysterious labor-intensive environment and the attempted let's-talk-it-out transparency of the printed words.

With the new school year heading toward us like an out of control "One-stack Mack with a Window in the Back," maybe it's time to think about a few things involving highway and street safety. With the yellow busses, kids on bicycles, kids walking and 15-year-old drivers driving, safety should be on everyone's mind.
Sometimes parents put far too much responsibility on their kid's shoulders when it comes to letting them drive. Yeah, yeah, I hear you. "But MY kid is a good driver." Hey, I was a kid once too, you know. I knew everything there was to know about driving a car,...

I want a three monitor setup. Two monitors on a fast powerful card and one monitor on a slower card. They are not linked together, no sli and all that. Can I run a game on all three monitors or will it only run on one card? Will the more powerful card help the slower card? What are my display options. Can I extend the desktop on all three or will the cards have to mirror each other, how does this work?
My experience has been that the graphics cards will not properly show 3D graphics or overlays that extend to more than one screen on the separate card.
In other words, if you show a video (usually done in an overlay) in a window on a single monitor, then move the window to show across two monitors, it will only work when both monitors are either
Similar things happen with 3D graphics, and in many cases you simply can't extend the window beyond the two screens on the better card, or the one screen on the lessor card.
In order to have the best chance at getting this to work seamlessly, use cards from the same manufacturer that use the same graphics driver - which usually means using cards within the same family.
However, if you really need to use three or more displays with advanced 3D rendering across all three, you should look at video cards that explicitly support this feature. Both ATI and nVidia have cards that will support this usage.
I would suggest trying it. I'm not sure, but I guess that it will either:
a. Not work on more than one monitor - This depends on the game.
b. Work at the speed of the slower card - Like RAM, I'm guessing that it's likely for this to result. (When RAM is mismatched, the slowest speed prevails on all sticks.)
c. Work at the speed of each of the cards, depending on the monitor - Each card may try it's hardest, but your results will vary depending on how slow that weaker card is. You may be just fine in this case.
d. Work on only one of the graphics cards at once. - This may be enforced by your OS or drivers, to prevent strange things from happening.
e. Strange things may happen.
Assuming that the game dosen't support multiple screens (the only one i can think of is the supreme commander series), you're best off using a single video card with something like eyefinity, that supports, and renders everything as a single screen as far as the game is concerned.
Alternately, If you're all PCI-E, you might be able to use one good card, and a few cheap ones along with SoftTH to software render the game into running multi screen.
It depends on the video cards, the OS, and the driver settings.
There are ways of having two cards work together (SLI and CrossFire), which you don't have.
Most video cards (eg ATI, NVidia) with more than one output allow you to use "clone mode" where each output, ie monitor, displays the same thing (this is usually most useful for presentation/kiosk type things).
Some (read few) games support multiple monitors, similar to the Nintendo DS. (I recall that Serious Sam allowed you to play multi-player using separate monitors.)
You can extend the desktop across the monitors, but when you do so, games (or other fullscreen programs) that do not specifically support multiple monitors will simply use the primary display and the other(s) will continue to show the desktop. If the game does not properly capture the mouse, then moving the cursor towards another screen could cause the game to lose mouse focus (and thus cut your in-game control), and if you happen to click while the cursor is on another screen, the game will pause and/or switch out to the desktop (on the primary display) and/or continue on its own without your having any control. Fortunately, most games (especially these days) do properly capture the mouse.
What you can then do in a setup like this is to have a some kind of information or something on the other screen(s) like email, eBay, game walkthrough, etc.

What: The N.C. Symphony's "Holiday Pops" concert
When: 8 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 11
Where: Kenan Auditorium on the campus of UNCW
Tickets: $38 to $53
Details: 962-3500 or www.NCsymphony.org

Resident conductor William Henry Curry will lead the orchestra in a program of old favorites and new arrangements of beloved carols, a couple of virtuoso ballet suites and opportunities for the audience to sing along.
From the world of ballet comes familiar music from acts one and two of "The Nutcracker" by Peter Tchaikovsky, including the always-thrilling Russian "Trepak," selections from "La Boutique fantasque" (The Fantastic Toyshop) and an arrangement of music by Gioachino Rossini (composer of such celebrated operas as "The Barber of Seville" and "William Tell").
Classic pops concert pieces from Victor Herbert ("March of the Toys") and Leroy Anderson ("Bugler's Holiday) will mingle with newer music from Bryan Kelly ("Improvisations on Christmas Carols") and Bruce Chase ("Christmas Memories").

|Jameson qualifies for Zone diving
DENVER, Colo. – The Idaho Vandals couldn't quite keep pace with Denver University in a Western Athletic Conference swim meet but they easily handled the Colorado School of Mines in a meet during which there were several strong performances by the Vandals.
Against Colorado School of Mines, the Vandals won 213-39, while against DU, Idaho fell 173-125 in a Western Athletic Conference meet.
Diver Mairin Jameson qualified for the NCAA Zone Meet with her 291 points to win the three-meter event. She was second in the one-meter dive – but only to teammate Paige Hunt. Hunt had a 260.45 in the one-meter to Jameson's 230.45.
"This was a tough turn around today," said coach Mark Sowa, whose team ventured to the mile-high venues of Denver and Colorado Springs on back-to-back days, "but I think we actually performed much better and made some really good adjustments."
Sophomore Rachel Millet notched three individual titles in the 173-125 lose. Millet won the 100 fly (57.00), the 200 free (1:52.92) and the 50 free (23.84) to up her win total for the weekend to five races. Megan Venlos also won Saturday with a 53.70 in the 100 free.
Venlos also was part of the winning 200 free relay team, which, with Jamie Sterbis, Stacy Janelle and Kelsie Saxe each taking a leg, posted a 1:39.16.
"Megan's win in the 100 free was pretty darn cool and Rachel put together three more really good races," Sowa said. "However, we have a lot to improve upon and a lot still left to do."

Wednesday, June 29th
Today the group departed for the Archaeological Dig Seminar where they dug to try find artifacts from the Second Temple period. They crawled through Bar Kochba's secret caves, which were used to plan the Bar Kochba Revolt against the Roman Empire in 135 CE. They had lunch at Kibbutz Beit Guvrin and spent time at the swimming pool! Group 4 then headed back to Jerusalem, had dinner and then went out for an activity at a nearby park.

Sermon by the Rev. William Baxter, 11-24-963 (Revised by the Rev. Paul Abernathy)
The Last Sunday after Pentecost
November 24, 2013
The Reverend Paul Roberts Abernathy, Rector
Paul: On Sunday, November 24, 1963, the Reverend William McNeil Baxter, ninth rector of St. Mark's Church, in the consuming shadow of the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, preached the sermon printed in this morning's bulletin. In attendance that Sunday was Lyndon Baines Johnson, newly sworn in as president, and Lady Bird Johnson, our nation's new First Lady.
In our commemoration of that historic moment, this morning's homily is a dialogical presentation; Bill's words, read by Jack Burton, set in conversation with reflections on our times, which I will share.
Jack: Saint Paul, in the eighth chapter of his Epistle to the Romans, asked, "What shall we then say to these things?" He follows with a rhetorical question, "If God be for us, who then can be against us?" But today, for us, this reassurance comes too soon…We are too ready as mortal beings to grasp at any word that will shelter us from grief, so for a moment we must dwell upon his first question: "What shall we then say to these things?"
The events of the past two days have broken through the normal accepted order of things. With the assassination of President Kennedy there has been an eruption of history, a glimpse of darkness...A strange sick man with a gun has changed the lives of millions upon millions of people.
Paul: In our time, on this day, cannot these same words be applied, particularly related to the gun-in-hand violence perpetrated by broken-spirited humans who, before and since 1963 and counting, in numerous moments of public mayhem, have cast so widely and indiscriminately the dark mantle of grief? Yes.
Jack: …Facing the chaos underlying all the created orders of man can…(make us aware)…of the fragile fabric of the social institutions of our own nation and all nations…which surround and uphold us…(and)…(of) a new awareness of our freedom and responsibility.
We live…under the illusion that there is a natural order to all things…It is in a crisis such as we are experiencing that we are made aware, at least for one shocking hour, of the tentative nature of our manmade institutions.
…We believe that there is a sure and enduring order that undergirds our nation and its government…Our educational system testifies in casual confidence that we have established a sure, firm, undeniable eternal order that cannot be shaken…Deep in us is a necessity to believe that we finally control the events of our lives…Our undeniable adequacy in the establishment of a system of law, a marvelous economic order, and a political system that works tends more and more to separate us from the history of their creation. They appear so sound that we believe that economics and politics can take care of themselves…We forget that our government is manmade and therefore perishable…(and in our forgetfulness,) each one of us thinks he can safely abdicate participation.
Paul: Ah, here is a difference that fifty years can make! I believe that we live less under the veil of the illusion of the superiority of our institutions. We have suffered so many shocks to the soul of our sense of security – the too soon to follow assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Francis Kennedy; scandals in the echelons of government, Watergate being but a metaphor for the rot at the core of our governance when the principle of public service daily contests against and is often defeated by unvarnished individual self-interest; abuses in the religious realm; inadequacies and inequities in the field of education, or ongoing disparities in race and class in the socio-economic sphere – that mindless trust and blind faith in our institutions no longer, if ever, can be considered favorable attributes. Our forgetfulness in the inherent fallibility of human-made structures, shattered for an instant by crisis, then soon restored in the swiftly sought comfort of our cultural amnesia, no longer prevails. We know all too well that institutions, that we fail, miss the mark, sin, fall short of fulfilling our highest values of love and justice for all. That daily, weighty awareness of our failure makes abdication of our personal responsibility also a posture harder to maintain, at least, not without the self-destructive loss of any semblance of integrity. We are accountable for our intentions and actions even though we cannot control our environment or the outcomes of what we do. Indeed, our difficulty is not in accepting our responsibility that we are to do something about the persistent problems that beset our society – hunger and homelessness, environmental degradation, unemployment and under-employment, racial and sexual inequality – all lenses through which we can behold, if we dare look, the chaos ever-present, all around us. Rather we often wrestle with discerning what to do.
Jack: …It takes a crisis like the murder of our President to bring us together into a new awareness of what we have inherited…The illusion that we are masters of everything that we survey departs from us…To be sure, we have the continuity that was emphasized so much…when our new President took over the government…It appears, I suppose, to those who hunger to live in the illusion that all is orderly once again, that this was a smooth and simple transition; but it was not done easily or swiftly. There was groaning and travail of soul. There was sighing and praying, the prayers that are too deep for words. Hands quickly reached across the gap and touched. Neither our President nor his family believes this bridge is complete or perfect, or that it ever can be. All of us share this tragic commitment with him…
"What shall we then say to these things?" says St. Paul. "If God be for us, who then can be against us?" Maybe now we can speak for a moment of God and His gifts. "He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all, will He not also give us all things?"
A new awareness of the reality of the human situation has broken through in the sacrifice of John Fitzgerald…We never seem to gain this perception without blood. Must there always be blood?...I cannot say. I know that God works in mysterious ways beyond my comprehension, but so often it seems true that the new reality we receive is always bought at the cost of death.
And what has death brought us in the form of life? This is the surprising gift of God who leaves us not alone…Now we are ready to listen to what He has given us to draw us together in these hours.
First (again), is recognition of the fragility of our human institutions. This opens us to the possibility that we are responsible every day to care for them…to uphold them with our votes, our study, our honest understanding of what strengthens us and keeps us going.
Second, when this order is broken and…no longer (can be) seen as natural, determined, and automatic, we are given (anew) a freedom…(of) the choice of accepting or rejecting the responsibility that binds the fabric of our society…
When I neglect my share, forgo my responsibility, abuse my freedom…take it for granted…I do so at great peril. Then I am made aware of the chaos that lies behind institutions. Yet, mysteriously, from the chaos, from the dissolution of order, humility and courage are gifts that we receive. For when we have lost control…we are given the possibility of humility and dare ask for courage. This is the sum of the gifts of God: responsibility, freedom, humility, and courage.
Paul: This, that the encounter with chaos brings up from our bowels the cry of humility and, from our hearts, the call for courage, is an immutable truth; one that characterizes our common humanity from the dawn of creation in Eden's Garden, according to the Bible, short-lived, thus, we know, a symbolic, never-to-have-been idyllic existence. Always overshadowing the illusion of our security and our vain quest for certainty is the specter of life's unpredictability and our fragility. Our daily awareness of this repeatable, demonstrable reality ought make us conscious of our universal bond, one with another, across the boundaries of age, class, race, and sex that divide us, and, in that unity, renew our humility in the knowledge that none of us is self-sufficient and revive our courage to exercise our responsibility and freedom for the fullest, most inclusive common good. Still, it always seems to take a crisis to bring us with our cherished illusions to our knees and, thus, yet another moment when…
Jack: …the power of tragic fate is broken. It has been this way the past few days. The world is drawn together in a moment of community, the divine-human community, I believe, that is established through death. It is a strange thing, but I had the sense that there were a billion hands that touched and may still be touching in comprehension of our sorrow. Even if they touch only for a moment, this act gives us a glimpse of the Kingdom. For a fleeting instant we see that if it were not for our blindness and our pride, we are children of our Father.
This is what we say when we ask, "If God be for us, then who can be against us?" He that spared not His own Son has given us this new awareness. But then comes (another day)…(and) the memory of this day and this hour dims…We (will) place again our trust in the human order that we will build. We will forget our responsibilities and turn away from our freedom. Our humility will be overwhelmed by pride. Our courage will wane.
(Knowing that this) is the way we are (and that) our leadership will suffer from loneliness and misunderstanding and, being mortal, will sometimes turn away from its obligations (we, in) this sanctuary...say prayers for you, Lyndon, our brother, and beseech God to give you in these days to come what He has shown to all of us in these past days: the freedom, the responsibility, the courage and the humility to exercise the powerful responsibilities that fall upon you. Here, we who surround you will pray for you and hope that what we have been given by the death of our President we may long remember and offer up as life each week. This is what we shall say to these things. God is for us. What is against us is overcome.
Paul: Amen.

One of the greatest measures of success as an animal rescuer is to find out that an animal that you helped save is happy and thriving in its forever home. It reminds us why we do what we do every day in our efforts of saving the lives of our innocent four-legged fur babies.
This week's metro Atlanta adoption success story is from Good Mews Animal Foundation in Marietta. Here is Luna's "happily ever after" story written by her new mom:
When we adopted Luna from Good Mews, we had no idea how much good she would do for our family and for so many children in our community. We came to Good Mews desperately in need of a companion cat for our Exotic Shorthair kitty named Twinkie. Our very first cat, Potato Cakes, had been an awesome therapy cat to our son who has an autism spectrum disorder. Tragedy struck, however, as our son was leaving Georgia to begin his Masters/PhD program in another state, and Potato Cakes passed away from an extended illness. It was almost as if he knew his job was done.
Twinkie had also learned to be a wonderful therapy animal, doing most of her work with the Disability Ministry at St. Peter Chanel Church in Roswell, GA, but as gratifying as her work was at SPC, Twinkie could never be happy as a one-and-only cat in our household. I arrived at Good Mews, needing a companion for Twinkie ASAP, but also wondering if I could possibly find another therapy cat candidate.
Luna was the third cat I met on my anxious visit to Good Mews. Twinkie is extremely gentle, so I knew she would need an extremely gentle friend. The staff at Good Mews was outstanding at helping me to find a kitty with the type of personality my husband and I needed in a friend for Twinkie. Because I love my ministry work with individuals with disabilities at St. Peter Chanel, I had no qualms about adopting a cat with a disability. Potato Cakes and his awesome vet at Paws, Whiskers and Claws Feline Hospital had taught me so much about lovingly caring for a cat with health issues that Luna's health issues didn't seem to be such a big deal.
Luna was extremely friendly and easy going (which are also the qualities of a therapy cat!), and I just couldn't help but fall in love. The Good Mews' staff told me that Luna was also very good with any children who had picked her up and carried her around on previous adoption days, but that no families had felt comfortable enough to adopt her because of her health issues and the fact that she was missing an eye. I was very impressed with how much detailed information they gave me about her health issues and temperament. This detailed information has proven to be completely accurate.
Luna and Twinkie adapted to each other pretty quickly. They love to play with each other and have even taught each other some new skills. Luna has showed Twinkie how much fun it is to knock pencils off of tables, and Twinkie has passed on to Luna her secrets of being an awesome therapy animal.

What kind of animal is a red squirrel?
The red squirrels is a rodent, in the same group as mice and rats, as well as more exotic species such as porcupines. Rodents are one of the most successful groups of mammals, with 1700 species. Most rodents are small, and all have strong sharpened front teeth (incisors) which grow throughout the animal's life. So rodents gnaw constantly at their food, which helps keep their teeth at the right length.
Are red squirrels native to Ireland?
The red squirrel was the original Irish squirrel, possibly arriving here along with colonising tree species. It was once a very common animal, but declined as trees were cut down for human use. It may have become extinct more than once, with other squirrels being re-introduced afterwards. So we cannot really tell whether any population of red squirrels is truly native.
How do I recognise a red squirrel?
The red squirrel is quite a small, slim animal, unlike the stockier grey squirrel. Average length is about 40cm from nose to tip of tail. The coat is usually red-brown, but may turn quite greyish in winter. The tail is very long and bushy, and is used for balance as the squirrel runs though the treetops. The ears have long tufts and the fingers have sharp claws for holding onto tree bark.
Where do red squirrels live?
Red squirrels are arboreal, meaning they spend almost all of their time in trees. So healthy woodland is essential for their survival. Ireland has only about 8% tree coverage – one of the lowest in Europe - so squirrels only occur in pockets throughout the country. The extensive planting of conifers in the 20th century has probably helped the spread of some squirrel populations.
Do red squirrels live in groups?
Red squirrels are solitary for most of the year, but nest communally in winter and spring, for warmth and to raise young. The nest is a ball of twigs about 30cm across, called a drey. Most of the year, squirrels stick to their home ranges, which may overlap to some degree depending on how much food is available.
What do red squirrels eat?
Red squirrels are specialists, feeding on the fruit of trees such as pine cones and hazelnuts. They will take shoots and buds, berries and mushrooms in season. The strong, sharp incisor teeth are used to split hazelnuts and tease out seeds from pine cones. In winter, squirrels may strip the bark from tree branches. Squirrels feed at dawn and dusk, and store food in hoards for the winter.
Do red squirrels hibernate?
Red squirrels do not hibernate, but are less active on the coldest days in winter.
When are baby red squirrels born?
The breeding season in red squirrels is quite long, from one December to the next September. And if the weather is good, 2 litters may be raised in a year, in spring and late summer. The young are born in the drey, blind and with no fur, 6-7 weeks after mating. They feed on their mother's milk for 2 months. If a squirrel puts on enough weight to survive its first winter, it may live for about 4 years.
Do red squirrels make noises?
Red squirrels make a variety of squeaks and chattering noises, especially when they feel threatened by humans or other animals, or in dispute with neighbouring squirrels. They also stamp their feet and may chase one another from branch to branch.
Do red squirrels have any predators?
Very few other animals can catch the agile red squirrel as it leaps through the high branches, but pine martens, which share the same habitat, may occasionally take a young or unlucky squirrel. There are records of this occurring in other countries, but not in Ireland yet, as both species are quite rare and secretive.
Are red squirrels endangered?
In Ireland and Britain, red squirrels are in serious decline, due to habitat loss and competition with the American grey squirrel, which is bigger and stronger than the red squirrel, and is able to digest nuts and fruit before they are ripe. It also carries a virus which may be transmitted to red squirrels. So as greys expand their range, reds are pushed to the margins. To help increase range and numbers, some red squirrels have been moved to safe areas of forestry in the west, where there are currently no grey squirrels.

The Big East announced Monday that DePaul freshman forward Katherine Harry and junior guard Sam Quigley were named to the conference's Weekly Woman's Basketball Honor Roll.
Quigley, who has appeared on the honor roll four times this season, averaged 18.0 points per game in wins against Cincinnati on January 27 and then Marquette on January 31.
Harry brought down 30 rebounds last week, including a career-high 18 against Cincinnati. She also added 13.5 points per game for the Blue Demons.
University of South Florida's was named Big East player of the week. Quigley and Harry will hope to continue their strong play when they travel to Providence on February 3.
Softball: DePaul softball is ranked No. 20 in the nation by ESPN.com/USA Softball and No. 21 by USA Today/NFCA.
The Blue Demons, led by two-time All American and two-time Big East pitcher of the year Becca Heteniak, return eight starters from last year's No.23 ranked squad. They are also picked to finish second behind Louisville in the Big East Conference preseason coaches poll.
Hetaniak was also chosen to the watch list for the USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Year Award. The right-hander was 26-9 last year with a 1.38 earned-run average striking out 252 in 233.2 innings. She also hit .338 with 12 home runs and 49 RBIs. The 25 finalists for the award will be announced on April 7.
DePaul opens on February 12 at the Texas Invitational where they will take on nationally ranked (No. 13/18) LSU.
Track and Field: Senior Joe Strawder broke Leonard Vance's 1985 school triple jump record of 14.83m when he hit 15.34m at the Indiana Relays. Strawder finished fourth overall.
Sophomore Matthew Graham earned his own spot in the record books when he finished 8:18.22 in the 3,000m. That time broke Chris Birchall's 2002 time of 8:19.69 and is Graham's second Big East qualifying mark of the season.

New Orleans Saints fans are out in full force to see Drew Brees at Barnes and Noble on Veterans Boulevard.
Barnes and Noble is Brees' first of three stops in New Orleans today for his book tour. He will also visit Books-A-Million in Covington at 12:30 p.m. and Borders on Saint Charles Avenue at 3 p.m.
By 7 a.m. Saturday, the line of fans was wrapped around the building, and the line went well into the parking lot. Cars filled the parking lot and nearby parking lots, as well as the streets of the neighborhood behind the store.
Some fans, of which there were more than 1,000, were tailgating, and a Saints-themed truck, decked out in Saints decals and pictures of former and current players, played Saints-themed songs early in the morning.
The doors opened at 7:15 a.m., with fans slowly but surely trickling in to get a chance to see Brees at 9 a.m. Brees will be at Barnes and Noble until 11 a.m.
A large number of fans arrived at the store Friday night, with some even coming to wait in line Friday afternoon just to get their books signed by the Super Bowl MVP.
Once the door opened, fans weaved their way around shelves and tables in the store to keep their place in line.

A collection of quotes about women and childbirth
"You're braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think." - A. A. Milne
"In a branch of medicine rife with paradoxes, contradictions, inconsistencies, and illogic, episiotomy crowns them all. The major argument for episiotomy is that it protects the perineum from injury, a protection accomplished by slicing through perineal skin, connective, tissue, and muscle." - Henci Goer
"If we hope to create a non-violent world where respect and kindness replace fear and hatred, we must begin with how we treat each other at the beginning of life. For that is where our deepest patterns are set. From these roots grow fear and alienation ~ or love and trust." - Suzanne Arms
"Whether we are male or female, it is in our timeless, quiet feminine depths that all the work of healing and transformation occurs. From these same depths come seeds of new beginnings. This new life needs the security and protection of our masculine to grow - but always in the service of the feminine." - Suzanne Arms
"to speak of birth...to touch people's hearts and souls and to awaken that part of humankind that has forgotten that it matters enormously how a baby comes into the world... that is our task." - Vicki Chan and Nic Edmondstone from "In Union" ©2001
"Ef women want any rights more'n dey got, why don't day jes' TAKE 'EM and not be talkin' about it?" - Sojourner Truth
"Many Western doctors hold the belief that we can improve everything, even natural childbirth in a healthy woman. This philosophy is the philosophy of people who think it deplorable that they were not consulted at the creation of Eve, because they would have done a better job." - G. Kloosterman, 1994
"If you don't know your options, you don't have any." - Diana Korte and Roberta Scaer, A Good Birth, A Safe Birth
"When a hammer is your tool, everything looks like a nail." - Unknown
"Spontaneous labour in a normal woman is an event marked by a number of processes so complicated and so perfectly attuned to each other that any interference will only detract from the optimal character. The only thing required from the bystanders is that they show respect for this awe-inspiring process by complying with the first rule of medicine--nil nocere [do no harm]." - G. Kloosterman
"Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." - Unknown
"We have a secret in our culture, and it's not that birth is painful; it's that women are strong." - Laura Stavoe Harm
"Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted." - Albert Einstein
"Midwifery is ecologically attuned, involving the wise utilization of resources and respect for the balance of nature." - Elizabeth Davis
"If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back and get it right-side up again. And now that they are asking to do it the men better let them." - Sojourner Truth
"The midwife considers the miracle of childbirth as normal, and leaves it alone unless there's trouble. The obstetrician normally sees childbirth as trouble: if he leaves it alone, it's a miracle." - Sheila Stubbs
"Birth is not an emergency. It is simply an emergence." - Jeanine Parvati Baker
"Birth is as safe as life gets." - Harriette Hartigan
"The woman about to become a mother, or with her new born infant upon her bosom, should be the object of trembling care and sympathy wherever she bears her tender burden or stretches her aching limbs. God forbid that any member of the professtion to which she trusts her life, doubly precious at that eventful period, should hazard it negligently,
unadvisedly or selfishly." - Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

"I don't get how I can be forty-five next year, when I still don't know what I want to do when I grow up!" The story begins with Erica's forty-fourth birthday where she fails to receive the biggest bouquet of flowers she can imagine, but she does get a nice good wish card from her ex-sister-in-law, an embarrassing message in a radio show from her ex-husband, cream for wrinkles from her gay friend Richard and a striptease artiste from her unfathomable mother. She places the good wish card on show and, even if she curses herself for it, she is moved to tears, and the present in the shape of the striptease-artiste is immediately bagged by Richard. Thus appears the successful life of Erica Miller, the star of the programme 'Before and After'. Erica has almost everything - her own TV programme, a renowned hairdressing salon, a large flat with a terrace, and freedom. But with each year that goes past she yearns more and more for the one thing she does not have - a child. And that is how our film starts...

A minor identity crisis from a long time ago
The Beatles, I Am the Walrus, 1967
A recurring theme in the nobelist Orhan Pamuk's novels involves identity switches between people. In The White Castle, a Venetian scientist trades places with an Ottoman scholar; in The Black Book, the protagonist assumes the identity of his journalist cousin and starts writing essays under his name.
More than 30 years ago, I personally experienced an identity switch of sorts, but unlike those in Pamuk's plots, mine is worth only a blog post.
It was the summer of 1977 and I was starting an internship in the chemistry laboratory of the textile factory in the city of Aydın in Turkey (yes, the city they named after me). On the first day they asked me for a photograph of myself for an ID card that was to be issued the following day. Back at home that evening, I mulled over my 2 choices: I could either waste time and money to get a picture of myself taken or use something already available around the house. But the only "suitable" picture I could find was a photograph of my cousin Metin that he had given me as a memento a few weeks earlier. It was an easy decision.
The next morning, I showed up at the factory, handed in "my" photograph while mumbling a preemptive excuse that it was not a recent picture lest someone noticed the lack of close resemblance between me and the person in the photograph. The man took it without so much as glancing at it. A few hours later, I had my ID card for the Kimya Lab. at Aydın Tekstil.
Ever since then, this card of mixed identities (still in existence, although now faded and discolored) has been a source of chuckles within the family.
But, seriously, who did that card really represent on those hot and muggy summer mornings when it was presented to the guard at the gate? Was it just me who showed up for work at the factory every morning for several weeks or was a part of Metin also tagging along me?
