Bohemian knotweed (Polygonum × bohemicum), the hybrid between Japanese and giant knotweed, is the most common invasive knotweed species in western North America and the most difficult to control. Invasive knotweed congeners spread aggressively along streams and establish dense monotypic stands, reducing riparian plant species diversity. Allochthonous organic matter inputs from riparian plants are an important source of energy and nutrients for organisms in small streams. However, little information exists concerning the influence of knotweed on stream processes. This study examines the quality of Bohemian knotweed leaves compared to native red alder and black cottonwood leaves, along with leaf-associated fungal biomass accumulation, macroinvertebrate communities, and decay rates from three forested streams in western Washington State. Senesced knotweed leaves were lower in nitrogen and phosphorus, and higher in cellulose, fiber, and lignin content than alder leaves, but were more similar to cottonwood leaves. Fungal biomass differed among species and changed over time. Macroinvertebrate shredders collected from leaf packs after 31 days were proportionately more abundant on alder leaves than knotweed and cottonwood. Decay rates were not significantly different among leaf species, but during the first 31 days alder broke down faster than knotweed. After 56 days, all of the leaf packs were mostly decomposed. Overall, these findings do not show major discrepancies between leaf species except those related to initial litter structural and chemical quality. However, changes in the timing and quantity of litter inputs are also important factors to be considered in understanding the impact of invasive knotweed on stream ecosystem processes.

The Teessiders host Barnsley on Saturday desperate to halt a slide which has seen them slip off the pace in the race for automatic promotion.
Mowbray told the club's official website, www.mfc.co.uk: "Sometimes defeats concentrate the mind and training has been very focused and professional.
"We have been trying to get back to basics and some real hard work. I spend a lot of time looking at what we are doing and how we are training, and we have changed a few things.
"We are always looking for reasons, but it's difficult to put your finger on it.
"We have to get back to winning ways. There's not a lot wrong apart from that confidence is not where it would be if we had won the last four games."

Zola Budd Pieterse
She's No Longer Barefoot but Still on the Run—from Her Past
In the '84 Los Angeles Games, Zola began her difficulties by choosing to run for Britain, a citizenship of convenience to circumvent the ban on South African athletes. That made nobody happy—including American fans when, in the 3,000 meters, Zola's heel clipped the favorite, Mary Decker, who lost her footing and sprawled off the track. Zola did bounce back to win the world cross-country championships in '85 and '86 but withdrew from consideration for the next Olympiad when she was threatened with banning because she had attended a track meet in South Africa. "I was accused of being a traitor and accused of not doing anything about the problems of my country," she recalls. "People just don't realize how impossible that was for me. That doesn't mean," she adds, "that I defend apartheid."
Distraught and on the verge of what she describes as a nervous breakdown, she returned home. And in 1989, she wed businessman Mike Pieterse, now 34, and began to feel a certain emotional stability—which was soon tested. Her father, from whom she had long been estranged, was murdered amid allegations that he was homosexual. Then in '92, Zola did make the South African Olympic team in the 3,000 only to be eliminated in a qualifying heat in Barcelona. The other frustration of her life was the lingering notoriety over the horror-show brush with Decker, now married to businessman Richard Slaney. The two have competed several times since, and Mary, Zola reports, has always "won quite easily." They are polite when they meet but not particularly friendly. "She still blames me," Zola says, "but she has forgiven me."
Mary, now 37, has come back from 18 to 20 surgeries, to go after her first Olympic medal in Atlanta. Zola, drained by tick-bite fever, failed to qualify for her team but will be in New York State in July, competing in road races and aiming for the marathon in Sydney in 2000. Her base and heart are in Bloemfontein in central South Africa, where she lives with Mike and their 9-month-old daughter, Lisa. After all she has been through, would she encourage Lisa to try track? Her husband, she says, wants the child to take up his game, golf, "but I want her to play the cello." And not, presumably, barefoot.

Kansas Fun Facts

The facility has a 70 percent chance of failure to contain biological pathogens "BIO WEAPONS". Researchers say " A direct hit by a F-5 Tornado could rupture seals containing the pathogenic weapons" Facilty officials say the lab is totally "safe" and there is no need for concern. Seeing the increase in tornado outbreaks. Why should we worry? Right?......... Ahhhhhh Kansas!!!!!

Reports indicate the new facility in Manhattan, Kansas is intended to replace the Plum Island bio-warfare testing facility, and like its predecessor, a DHS risk assessment says it will be used to research advanced biological pathogens and emerging threats that are not only hazardous, but highly contagious to human and animal populations.----->>This November 16 article should have stated that a calculation that there is a nearly 70 percent chance a pathogen could escape the planned Bio and Agro-Defense Facility in Kansas was made by a National Research Council panel based on data from a U.S. Homeland Security Department risk assessment. The NRC panel also estimated economic losses of between $9 billion and $50 billion from a postulated foot-and-mouth disease outbreak

"Plum Island" bio-weapons lab, has moved facilities to Manhattan Ks.-- The origins of "Lyme Disease">> In the mid-1970's Lyme Disease broke out in Connecticut and it has since spread through much of the United States. This program examines the possibility that Lyme Disease may have spread as a result of clandestine experimentation on biological warfare on Plum Island-a Department of Agriculture facility that doubled as an Army BW research facility. Dedicated to the study of animal diseases, Plum Island appears to have been the site of experiments with disease-infected ticks conducted by Nazi scientists brought into the United States under Project Paperclip. One of the Nazi scientists who appears to have been involved with Plum Island was Dr. Erich Traub, who was in charge of the Third Reich's virological and bacteriological warfare program in World War II. Was Traub involved with experiments that led to the spread of Lyme Disease?

A newly published article describes two new methods that could accelerate the development of improved antisense drugs by detecting and measuring their levels in cells.
Frederick Schnell, Stacy Crumley, Dan Mourich, and P.L. Iversen of Sarepta Therapeutics and Oregon State University explained how their methods aided in detecting one type of antisense therapeutics, phosphorodiamidate morpholine oligomers (PMO). The authors discuss the measurement of intranasally-delivered PMO in lung tissue and, more specifically, in different cell types in the lung. They were able to measure the clearance kinetics of the PMO and determine whether it stayed in the lung tissue.
The co-authors detailed the two methods in "Development of Novel Bioanalytical Methods to Determine the Effective Concentrations of Phosphorodiamidate Morpholino Oligomers in Tissues and Cells." The article appeared in BioResearch Open Access, a bimonthly peer-reviewed open access journal from GEN publisher Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers, and is available on the journal's website.
"The development of novel, rapid PMO detection techniques such as these will advance the field of PMO research in a significant way, providing valid alternatives to the current time-consuming and labor-intensive methods," says editor-in-chief Jane Taylor, Ph.D., senior research fellow at the U.K. Medical Research Council's MRC Center for Regenerative Medicine, based at the University of Edinburgh.

Leo immigrated to America just four years ago. His first job was working at a memory care community as a culinary aid. Leo realized his passion for serving seniors and over the years has worked his way up to director of culinary services at his community. Leo wants the seniors he serves to be able to experience dining as they would at a nice restaurant. During a recent visit to Catalina Island, Leo ordered crepes so that he could watch how they were made and then commented, "It will be hard to make them for 96 people but I can do it!" Leo doesn't see the residents memory loss - he sees people he respects and who deserve the best he can give them.
Leo takes the time to visit with each resident. He joins them in activities, always makes them feel special, and can often be seen dancing with residents. Leo always has a positive attitude and a smile on his face. He says that his job has given him the opportunity to live his dream and is always willing to mentor others and help them find the same joy.

Food and nutritional sciences are focused on human nutrition and health, food service, food safety and quality, and the science of food product development. Students take courses in chemistry, microbiology, nursing and human development, as well as nutrition and health.
A degree in Food and Nutritional Sciences will prepare you for careers in nutrition, dietetics, health care and food services. The degree also prepares students for research and development professions that apply technology to develop new foods, and improve the quality and safety of food products and services.
The Food and Nutritional Sciences program offers the following undergraduate and graduate degrees:
• B.S. in Food and Nutritional Sciences, Concentration in Dietetics.* The curriculum stresses the importance and maintenance of good nutrition throughout the life cycle as it relates to health and disease. This concentration is no longer accepting majors and will be discontinued in June 2017.
• B.S. in Food and Nutritional Sciences, Concentration in Food Science. This curriculum emphasizes the importance of product development, and emphasizes food composite sensing, processing, preservation, marketing, and food safety. This major will prepare you for careers in food technology, compliance management, food chemistry, food product development, sensory science, regulatory fields, quality assurance, food safety and inspection and more.
• B.S. in Food and Nutritional Sciences, Concentration in Pre-Medicine Nutrition. The curriculum provides academic preparation for students who plan to attend medical or dental school upon graduation.
• M.S. Food and Nutritional Sciences. This curriculum prepares graduate students for careers in research, quality control, college instruction, community nutrition, dietetics, food industries, and with Cooperative Extension and other public service agencies.
Please contact the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences to arrange a tour of our facilities and to find out which degree is the best fit for your career goals.
*The Food and Nutritional Sciences Dietetics Program is currently on probation through June 2017 with the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND), the accrediting agency for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetics Association). At the end of the probationary period, the university will discontinue the Dietetics Program.

I have installed Ubuntu 12.04 in my XPS L502. Everything works fine except the system heat. I can feel that the laptop heat rises more and fan sound also, when I am using ubuntu. But with Windows 7 that came pre-installed with laptop heat is normal. I like to use Ubuntu on this laptop, but because of this reason I am not able to do that. Please help.
I had the same problem. I solved it by installing Bumblebee.
It seems like it was a problem with power management. After installing Bumblebee and restarting my computer, it ran smoothly, with quiet fan and at normal temperature. Actually, now my battery last longer in Ubuntu than it does on Windows 7.
You might use cpufrequtils to reduce the CPU frequency or cpufreqd to adjust that frequency depending on system load, active processes, temperature and so on. In case that

SEM News
August 2015
Hello everyone,
I think it is about time that I introduce myself to you all. My name is Melissa and I am the new Director of SonLight Education Ministry. I have to thank Jeanie Cook for her many years of service and work within this ministry! She still continues to work behind the scenes and we all appreciate that so much! I am humbled to be leading this ministry, but feel blessed that she has hooked me up with many helpers to assist me in learning the ropes here at SonLight.
Well, unlike Jeanie, I live in the middle of farm country in Iowa. We have a small acreage on which we raise sheep and chickens. We like to garden and we are still trying to hone our skills with preservation of all the foods and seeds. This summer I have also helped my daughter with Farmer's Market where she sells baked goods and I sell garden produce.
As Jeanie mentioned in the last SEM News, I am also the Director of AHE, Adventist Home Educators. You are all welcome to see what this ministry is about. You can locate that ministry at the website of http://adventisthomeducator.org This summer we have been blessed by Yolanda's efforts in creating a mini-course for the Ten Principles of True Education course. You may wish to hop over to the AHE blog (on the AHE website) and check out her posts.
Part of my work here at SEM is to assist you in getting the help you need to make the free downloads work for you. We want to continue for everyone to have access to the downloads and be able to understand how to use them. This will be an ongoing work as more materials are planned to be released from time to time.
We did make some changes to the download files and we hope that this will be more helpful to many of you. We now offer downloads through the uTorrent file and via our Google Drive. You can see the download page for more information about those options. The uTorrent files were recently updated to have the combined files in the larger file sizes and are combined into catalogue groupings so you can find the materials you need more easily. If you need something from another uTorrent file, a PDF will be inserted and direct you to the files you will need. We pray that this is helpful to many of you.
The recent updates of the downloads now include the Family Bible Lessons through Year 3, Quarter 2, and new in this last update is music for the memory verses of year 1 of the Family Bible Lessons.
I am thankful for our counselors and I hope that you all take advantage of that assistance that is available. You will find that list of counselors on the contact page, just scroll towards the bottom to find them all.
Another option for getting support with the SEM materials is to join the "SonLight Education Ministry-SDA" Facebook Group. A few of the counselors are also on the group and try to answer questions as they have time. I have seen it to be a blessing to those starting out and trying to understand the SEM materials. Some are just enjoying being able to visit with others that are using the same program. You are all welcome to join us there. https://www.facebook.com/groups/SonlightEducationMinistry/
We also have a SonLight Education Ministry Facebook page. You can follow us there and when updates are made to the website or the ministry a note is mentioned there. https://www.facebook.com/sonlighteducationministry
I ask you to be patient with us as we work out the details of how to keep everything running smoothly. I am asking that you all send a message or leave a message if you are calling the main office. I will be beginning our own school year and I need to limit interruptions to keep us on our own schedule. I will try to return your call as soon as possible. I do, however, respond sooner to emails, if that is easier for you. I will return calls, but I work that around our own family activities going on. I hope that this small change will be workable. We will give it a try and see how to goes.
I have enjoyed getting to know many of you this summer and look forward to seeing and hearing your own testimonies of where God is leading you and your families.
Keep praying for SonLight Education Ministries. We pray that it is a blessing for you and assists you in teaching your children and leading you to understand True Education and how to apply it in your homes. God is working on the hearts of those volunteering their time and efforts to help you all. We will try to keep these new resources before you.
May God bless you all as you seek to follow God's will for you in your life, in your home, in your family and all the other places it spills out as He leads you this coming year.

2004 Honda Civic Value Package 4dr Sedan (1.7L 4cyl 4A)
This model is a good used choice car for those looking for basic transportation. Replacement parts availability is excellent. Heads-up - this car has a timing belt which requires replacement at 105,000 miles (not a chain). I would only buy a used civic that has less then 55,000 miles. Back in 2004 my 80 year old mother needed a new car and demanded the CIVIC with manual windows so I got her a brand new 2004 VIP. The car cost $15,000 OTD with no trade-in. It is a very basic car but that's what she wanted. Since then she has put only 12,000 miles on it and the only time it was in the shop was for the airbag recall. It runs and drives like new after 11 years. This car feels quite "tinny" although it's fit and finish are flawless. The designers clearly focused on interior room, fuel efficiency, reliability and the driver's outward visibility. The designers sacrificed suspension, breaking, acceleration, cornering/steering, cabin soundproofing and the overall fun driving experience. The rear suspension, in particular, has been crammed into a small space to make the trunk bigger, yielding an oddly bouncy ride. The rear brakes are drum which make for very poor stopping capability and the single overhead cam engine is quite pathetic. That said, it's amazingly reliable, economical, well assembled, easy to drive with excellent outward visibility and boring - which is, apparently, what must drivers demand judging from this car's popularity.
I bought my 04 Civic VP new and no problems. Gas Mileage is better than advertised - I get about 42 mpg highway. Drive it 70 miles per day and has never let me down. All it needs is scheduled maint. This is the best car I have ever owned. My next car is probably going to be Honda Fit or the New Civic. This Civic won't need a tune up until 110K Miles.
Gas Mileage, Handling, Very Good Headlights, CD Player.
Loud Engine when accelerating, but that's normal for a 4 cylinder. Minor Squeaks/rattles. The original tires were not too good. They did not last long.
I love this car on trips, but I should've gotten a 5 speed! I live where we have 8% grade mountains that I sometimes have to go down in winter. Most economy cars even in automatic have a 1st gear option that you can manually put the car into. This does NOT! And the fact that there are no ABS brakes means pumping the brakes on straight-aways then hoping you don't slide across the corner off the mountain. It's scary. I love this car, but that is reason enough for me to get something with 1st gear as an option. Also on dry straight-aways I tried it in 2nd gear and it didn't stay where it should - it picked up speed! Hello!
Great mileage. Nothing will break with crank Windows. Trunk and passenger space. Comfortable place to put feet when driving.
In the automatic version put a 1st gear manual option. Why bother with 3rd, most people would need 2nd and 1st, especially going down snow covered mountains!
Too many people marry for looks rather than moral character, and too many people get an unreliable car with the same superficial philosophy. We couldn't be happier with our base-model Honda Civic. My car is not my identity but simply a thing to take me from A to B and back. Over the last three years, our Civic has done the job flawlessly. And we got it for the least money long- term among compact cars, except for the Corolla, which is comparable. People don't need 6 or 8 cylinders, or a car that "looks good." As drivers, we need cars that will reliably drive us on paved roads without driving up our debt or driving us crazy with repairs. The Civic builds contentment and peace in our hearts.
Starts up every time. Good oomph when needed. Big front window. Fold-down rear seats open it up for cargo. Dog cage fits in back seat too.
More insulation to cut down wind and road noise would be preferred. Anything else I wanted are in the EX, which I could have bought.
We've driven this Civic in all sorts of situations, city and country, and found it very reliable and very much what we were looking for. The fuel economy is good. Our single complaint is that the rear bumper is very easily damaged, and when damaged the whole bumper cover must be replaced. It would be nice if they would make it a little more crash resistant at low speeds.
Nice cup holder, value package gave a lot for the money with AC etc.
Better bumpers

Rooms clean and pleasant. Lobby and other areas inviting!
Rooms smaller than usually for this star class and the hotel did not have any double queens available. Staff was cordial, but not friendly.

The beautiful lobby are, and the close proximity to the quarters. You could little walk outside and feel the New Orleans night life. The more populated areas were in close walking distance.
Parking is very high. The price ranges from $25 to $40 a day for overnight parking. The $40 rate is Hilton's rate. If you park for shorter times, for example 6 to 12 hours, it's $24. The parking rate is a deterrence for a possible return.

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Pool area is nice and quiet, whirlpool was great! Bed was very comfortable.
Restaurant is very pricey and room was a little small. Also, the free breakfast was only for gold and platinum "members" which was a big letdown.
It's great for a quiet weekend away. Rooms are very quiet and seem private. Location is a short walk from Bourbon St and the superdome.

Room as adequate. Had issue with my door lock. The maintenance folks were professional and courteous. Good location to the Quarter and National WWII Museum. Valets were great as well.
Front desk staff, universally, were rude and lacked manners. Did not greet me, never thanked me for my business. When I had issues with my door locks, never apologized. So dissappointed.

You might have noticed that my roundup was mysteriously absent…
Corporate Marketing Stunts Have Ruined The Guinness Book Of World Records
Corporate marketing stunts have ruined The Guinness Book Of World Records. I came to this realization after hearing about Arby's marketing stunt where they filmed a brisket being smoked for 13 hours and played it in its entirety as a commercial in Duluth, Minnesota. This marketing stunt won them the World Record for The Longest TV Commercial, and it really pissed me off.
I think I have a right to be upset. I've always held the Guinness Book Of World Records in high esteem. The latest edition was a guaranteed Christmas present in my household. I would spend hours reading about all of the weird and incredible things that people around the world could achieve and dreaming of one day having my name in that book. As far as I was concerned, holding a Guinness World Record was better than getting a Nobel Prize. You saved a bunch of sick kids with your dumb vaccine? Who cares! Come back to me after you've been growing your finger nails for 20 years or you learn to squirt milk from your eyes. Then I'll be impressed.
That's the reason it upsets me that corporations are allowed to hold records. Guinness World Records are supposed to be unique and impressive. Corporate records are rarely impressive, and usually just involve spending a lot of money on some dumb crap. The 13-hour long brisket commercial wasn't achieved through any kind of great skill or extreme dedication. They just had enough money to pay a TV station to let them play a commercial for 13 hours. This made me so mad that I started Googling other World Records by large corporations. There are a lot of them and they're all terrible.
It seems that a lot of companies just put some sort of food in a long line and Guinness calls that a record. Hellmann's, maker of gross mayonnaise, put 1,500 hot dogs in a line to get the record for The Longest Line Of Hot Dogs. How could Hellmann's ever manage to buy so much of the cheapest food ever made? Amazing!
Old El Paso, fabricator of stale taco shells, holds the record for The Longest Line Of Tacos. You mean you're telling me that a company who makes crappy taco ingredients was able to somehow put 1,557 terrible tacos all in a line? What a feat!
The Kuwait Food Company, owner of Hardee's in Kuwait, put 2,500 nasty Hardee's hamburger in a line to claim the record for The Longest Line Of Hamburgers. A truly amazing feat would be eating one of those old Hardee's hamburgers after it's been sitting out all day in a line. Guinness does have a rule that any large food related records have to be distributed for consumption after all.
Other recently achieved lame corporate records include a movie theater chain's The Largest Gathering Of People Dressed As Princesses record to coincide with the release of Disney's Maleficent, a bank's Fastest Time To Shake 100 Hands record, and a German safari park's largest fruitcake.
Why would the most trusted world wide source of records ever dignify these record attempts with a place in their book? It's because Guinness World Records has a marketing division that sells world records to companies. You don't even have to know what record you want to break. They'll come up with that for you. All you have to do as a corporation is fork over a dump truck full of cash and they'll take care of everything else.
"Whatever the size of your organisation and whichever product or service you wish to promote, Guinness World Records can create a record-breaking solution designed to your brand objectives, and budget. "
Guinness's staff will come up with a record and guide the company through all the steps needed to help them prepare to successfully break it. The catch is that they still have to be able to break it. If they don't accomplish what they set out to do then they don't get the record. That's the biggest problem with this system. Corporations don't want to take a huge risk and possibly fail their record attempt. They're paying big bucks and expect results. Plus, it would be incredibly embarrassing to fail a world record attempt after turning it in to a huge event. This leads to companies going for records that they can't possibly fail thus defeating the whole purpose of even keeping the records. If it's not something that's difficult to achieve then it shouldn't be noteworthy.
Breaking Guinness World Records must be working because according to Business Week, the revenue from these corporate records is "projected to reach 50 percent by 2015" of the total revenue of the company. One thing is for sure: breaking records definitely gets people talking. It got a lot of news outlets to talk about Arby's. I wouldn't have cared about Arby's selling a new sandwich if it didn't have the world record attached to it. It got me talking too. Aw man. I'm part of the problem.

Talyllyn's Great Gathering and interview with new GM, Last Days of Penrhyn, Sandstone's new railway, Fletcher Jennings survivors, Escaping arrest chasing Nepal steam, all the latest news, great photography and more...
Having already established an international reputation for its coverage right across the international narrow gauge scene, with top quality photography and impressive use of colour, Narrow Gauge World has recently undergone a significant update.
The magazine now features much more extensive news coverage, along with feature material that looks beyond the headlines. While the popular broad-brush coverage of the narrow gauge, yesterday and today, remains, the magazine is becoming widely regarded as the standard-bearer for all those involved in, or simply fascinated by, today's narrow gauge.
The free trial issue of Narrow Gauge World includes some eight pages of news from the UK and across the globe, together with focus features on a new locomotive for the Hayling Seaside Railway in Sussex and the latest developments in India. There is also a five-page News Gallery featuring top quality photography.
Among the features Editor Andrew Charman profiles Welshpool & Llanfair Hunslet loco no 85 as it goes out of service, we tell the short sad story of an unsuccessful bid to revive the Alfred County Railway in South Africa, and how fruit aided preservation in the American Rio Grade. We also print some recently unearthed colour pictures from the Welsh narrow gauge in early preservation days.
Modellers will no doubt find the 7mm scale drawing of Hunslet no 85 useful, while the modelling section includes a large scale indoor layout and tips on stock storage, coach conversion and point operation.
You will find all of the above and more in this free trial issue, an indication of the extensive coverage that is packed into every issue of the new-look Narrow Gauge World . For example in other recent issues we've shown how you can ride today's narrow gauge in Bulgaria, Finland and Saxony, discovered what it is like to be a guard on the Ravenglass & Eskdale, profiled the enormous metre-gauge Pacifics of Jodhpur in India – the list goes on…
So once you've enjoyed your free trial, why not ensure that you don't miss out in future? You can subscribe to the digital edition of Narrow Gauge World at the top of the page.
Narrow Gauge World is available to read digitally on your computer and on your Apple and Android devices.

These are the steps I took to create a ginormous fire-breathing dragon to go on my front lawn for Halloween 2011. Many mistakes were made, and poor techniques chosen, but ultimately it was a success.
Have you ever wanted to have a gigantic lawn prop for Halloween? Perhaps something that the neighbors wonder about as it's coming up, and is so challenging, you wonder if you'll be able to finish it? This is the project for you. Unfortunately, I did not write this and track everything carefully as I went, as I was not expecting to enter this contest, but the techniques are really what's important here, not precise details.
The basic approach we took is to make a very simple skeleton out of 2×4's, and then use electric fencing and chicken wire to create a wire frame to wrap fabric around. I constructed the head from a 5-gallon bucket, a lawn torch, some air-conditioning duct work, and 14-gauge steel plate welded into the shape of a snout.
As far as budget goes, I lost count. The materials list looks something like this:
2×4's: 6-8 ft
Red Cotton: 40 yards +-
Scaly Cotton: 5 yards +-
Electric Fence Wire: 80-100 ft
Chicken Wire: 24″x??? ('way more than I expected, and I lost count of the rolls purchased.)
14-Gauge Steel plate: 1 8×14″ sheet (if I recall).
1 5-gallon bucket
1 roll aluminum foil
1 10″-diameter, 2-part AC duct
At this stage, the design was very experimental. We decided to try mounting a propane lawn torch to a 5-gallon bucket using some U-Bolts as shown, and to remove the bottom of the bucket so the torch could stick through. We did a test burn to verify that the heat from the torch would not melt or burn the bucket.
Next, I bent all four pieces of the snout and welded them together. I love those teeth!
The dragon had now grown to the point where further development would not fit in the garage, so he had to come out into the yard. We next added some skin and the frame for the wings. To fasten the skin, we simply used safety pins to clip the fabric directly to the chicken wire. For the frames of the wings we used PVC plumbing pipe with elbow connectors. To keep the wingtips in place, we put concrete form stakes similar to this into the ground and slid the PVC pipe directly over them.

Current Issue
Psychologists at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville and the University of Plymouth (United Kingdom) have conducted experimental research that contrasts with the belief that happy children are the best learners (Developmental Science, June 2008).
The findings show that where attention to detail is required, happy children may be at a disadvantage.
The researchers conducted a series of experiments with different child age groups who had happy or sad moods induced with the aid of music (Mozart and Mahler) and selected video clips (Jungle Book and the Lion King). The groups then were asked to undertake a task that required attention to detail - to observe a detailed image such as a house and a simple shape such as a triangle, and then locate the shape within the larger picture.
The findings in each experiment with both music and video clips were conclusive, with the children induced to feel a sad or neutral mood performing the task better than those induced to feel a happy state of mind.
Lead researcher Simone Schnall, PhD, of the University of Plymouth describes the psychology behind the findings: "Happiness indicates that things are going well, which leads to a global, top-down style of information processing. Sadness indicates that something is amiss, triggering detail-orientated, analytical processing," she said. "However, it is important to emphasize that existing research shows there are contexts in which a positive mood is beneficial for a child, such as when a task calls for creative thinking. But this particular research demonstrates that when attention to detail is required, it may do more harm than good."
Co-author Vikram Jaswal, PhD, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, added that the findings contradict conventional wisdom that happiness always leads to optimal outcomes. "The good feeling that accompanies happiness comes at a hidden cost," he said. "It leads to a particular style of thinking that is suited for some types of situations, but not others."
The research was funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation.
