1926 Sesquicentennial Half Dollar
Bill here, with the coin we talked about last year. You remember, right? Check out last July's Coin of the Month, when Flip presented the Sesquicentennial quarter eagle. This month's coin is the other part of that two-coin set.
This one is also pretty hard to find, especially in really good condition. Although many were made, not many were sold. It seems that the coin made a shallow impression on collectors partly because of the shallow impression of the strike.
Still, its rarity makes it more valuable today. And there's a great rarity built right into the image on the front too: the first time a living President of the United States was depicted on a coin while he was still alive!
The profiles are of first U.S. President George Washington and then-President Calvin Coolidge. The closest any previous coin came to breaking the tradition of not showing living presidents was in 1921, when the governor of Alabama was shown on the state's centennial half dollar.
The two 1926 coins were made for (and sold at) the Sesquicentennial Exposition, held in Philadelphia from June 1 through November 30, 1926.
Now notice the Liberty Bell on the back. Does it look familiar? It should if you've ever seen the back of a Benjamin Franklin half dollar, made from 1948 to 1963. That Liberty Bell design is based on this one! See for yourself: Ben's half dollar was the Coin of the Month in July 2001!

Posted by karen on 2/6/2010, 10:03 am, in reply to "Re: car seat"
Thanks for the info. Does your daughter have any other issues besides the Pierre Robin? I hear so much about Stickler Syndrome and I am a little paranoid about that. I did have a ton of genetic tests done while I was pregnant, an amnio,CGH array, FISH Test, SMA & Fragile X and all negative.So I don't know if he needs to be tested for it. None of the drs mentioned it being that I mentioned all of the prior genetic tests I had done. Also, how long would you say your daughter had to sit either lying down or the side position until she was able to sit up and breathe & eat without a problem? Thanks for all of your help.

The ideals of free software may have freedom have its center, but for many the concept of 'free' relates to its price. Even with RMS's jingoistic "free as in freedom, not free as in beer" people don't get it. Even though RMS has repeatedly said he has no problem with commercial software, the message is not getting through. Instead, the merest hint that someone in the community might be making money from something open source related sends large factions into spasms of rabid anti-commercialism.
I know stuff. A lot of stuff. Enough to write 50 something articles, andtwo major books. I like knowledge, and I like sharing it. But parts of the web are working against me on this for the simple reason I am able to make money from my work.
Consider this: I find a forum that contains a thread discussinga specific topic or interest of mine, and I have something new to add.Can I add to the discussion? No! The forum requires registration. ShouldI have to go through a "painless" 5 minute subscription process to helpsomeone else?
Probably not.
But let's assume I do.
I have now given my email to another stranger, I have another set oflog-in cookies on my machine, another entry in the ever-growing Firefoxpassword list, and something else to remember to "check back later"about, should anyone require further assistance.
Who trusts a poster who subscribes to the board,just to post one message?
Naturally, my first post is going to be of the "here's how to solve theproblem" affair. This means I'll either be flamed for notposting an introduction, or contributing anything else. Alternatively no one willconsider it worthwhile since (like most technological methodologies)it's just an opinion. And who trusts a poster who subscribes to the board,just to post one message?
Aha - you might say - I thought you said you'd written a book. Yes, Ihave. This normally gives me leverage, as they have been peerreviewed and critical commended. In the real world, therefore, my wordsand opinions would have extra weight, as they've been tested and proven tosolve the problem at hand. In fact, they've been proven enough to warrant people spending real-world money on it. However, experience and posts on the specific forum are valuedmore highly than equivalent experience in the real world, itseems.
So I therefore need to demonstrate why my one-post thoughts are worth reading. The typical approach is to explain the problem fully, and back it up with references to the case studies from a book, for those wishing to read further.
I'm only suggesting we add a reference, mind you. We're not talking about adverts here; or affiliate Amazon links, or HTML promotional material. Just a one-line title, possibly with an ISBN. I'll let Google take the strain from here on in. They get a solid answer, and I save myself from re-writing something I've already spent more time when doing the book.
But there's the problem.
If I'm on-line, subscribe to a forum, make a single post, and then reference any product from which I gain financially it istantamount to heresy. "An advert? On the web? Never!" Even if the solutionyou're imparting is correct, any link to a suitable book (if your own)whether in your signature or not, will get slated, harassed, deleted, orbanned.
So why help people? Why post?
I'm also intrigued why no one else references materials and ideas in books they've read, or know about? Or why they never quotefrom them? Is it because the same people that frequent these forums are soblinkered they don't look (or know to look) to pay-for material in order to solve their problems? If they'd read the table of contents, or bookdescription, they would know the solution was contained within it. Amazon even lets you look inside some books, which might give you the solution for free. Do they consider material if there's no free eBook version? Do they even buybooks?
Information should be free – meaning available
It's not long before someone quotes the mantra "information should be free." That's fine, but this is "free as freedom, not free as in beer." Information should be free – meaning available. It need not be cost free. Naturally, there are frameworks that support both literary freedoms and financial remunerations; the most obvious being the Creative Commons Non-Commercial license. This would have the dual benefit of keeping the zealots quiet, wile simultaneously avoiding the unwanted attentions from most traditional dead-tree publishers.
Or are people referencing books and I'm just not seeing it? Perhapsforum and thread owners are removing such posts lest they're seen asadvertising and accused of taking bribes, or being impartial. Or perhaps forum contributors know their post was a hacked version of someone elses Chapter 6, and they wanted tokeep the source secret and garner the credit for themselves.
Who knows? It's late, I'm bitter, and just looking for a littleacknowledgement of the many years I've spent doing this...
Sorry to be a liberty Nazi, but...
The principle of free software and free culture is not that all such art must be made available, but that people should be free to do whatever they want with the art that they are given or that they purchase.
The principle is LIBERTY.
There is no requirement that you must make your work available, nor that you must price it at $0.
The only obligation of liberty is that if you convey a copy your work to someone, that you don't attempt to prevent or prosecute them for making their own copies or derivatives.
Some people get confused by the GPL - which is unfortunate. The GPL says if you do convey a work to someone, then attempting to prevent someone making derivatives also includes obscuring or obfuscating the work, i.e. delivering it in binary or otherwise unintelligible form.
The GPL does not say you must make all your work available. It only says that when you do deliver a derivative, this must include the plaintext/source code version - or at least it must be made available to the recipient of the derivative. It's only if the source code is provided separately that it's meant to be free of charge (or cost of media+postage).
As for "Information wants to be free". As you know, this is not the libertarian principle (or even the gift economist one), but an epiphenomenon of our instantaneous diffusion infrastructure that we call the Internet.
It just means that it's difficult to sell valuable information to one person at a time - and the more people the information is valuable to, the quicker it spreads, consequently saturating and eliminating the potential market. You need something like the www.digitalartauction.com to sell digital art to many people all at once.

Cougars Capitalize on Five CSU Errors in 12-7 Win
MT. PLEASANT, S.C. - Sophomore RF Thomas Brittle (Cross, S.C./Berkeley) had three hits and senior 1B Greg Blake (Westerly, R.I./Lake City CC) blasted a solo home run as College of Charleston took advantage of five Charleston Southern errors to defeat the Buccaneers 12-7 Wednesday evening at Patriots Point. The Cougars improve to 8-1 on the season, while Charleston Southern falls to 2-6.
CSU took an early 1-0 lead on a RBI single by Matt Still in the first inning, but Charleston responded in the bottom half of the frame on a two-run double down the left-field line by junior Jose Rodriguez (Hialeah, Fla./Broward College). The Cougars added three more runs in the second to take a 5-1 lead.
The Bucs cut the deficit to 5-3 in third inning on a bases-loaded walk by Still and a RBI groundout by Walt Quattlebaum. The teams traded single runs in the fifth inning, CSU scoring on a solo home run by Tyler Thornburg and the Cougars picking up a run on Blake's first round-tripper of the season.
Charleston added two runs in the sixth as Brittle scored on throwing error by Drew Woodall and junior DH Kolby Epley (Yadkinville, N.C./Forbush) plated fellow junior CF Cole Rakar (Mount Pleasant, S.C./Wando) with a sacrifice fly to center. CSU cut Charleston's lead to 8-6 in the seventh with a RBI single by Quattlebaum and a sacrifice fly by Derek Smith.
The Cougars padded the lead to 12-6 with four runs in the eighth, scoring on a RBI single by Blake and a two-run double by junior SS Jamie Holler (Rock Hill, S.C./USC Sumter JC). Junior C Rob Kral (Randolph, N.J./Randolph) scored the final run on a passed ball by Will Bedenbaugh. CSU closed the game's scoring with a solo home run to left in the ninth.
Freshman Jake Zokan (Columbia, S.C./Spring Valley) earned his first collegiate victory, going five innings and giving up five hits and four runs with four strikeouts. Junior Heath Hembree (Cowpens, S.C./Spartanburg Methodist College) picked up his first save on the season, tossing 1.2 innings with four strikeouts. Stew Brase took the loss for the Bucs, allowing six runs, three earned, on five hits in five innings with seven strikeouts.
Charleston returns to action for a three-game series with SEC foe Alabama this weekend at Patriots Point. Game time is set for 6:00 p.m. Friday and 1:00 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Can you define these popular missing words?
verb. when one does something particularly punk rock or to make one's appearance more punk rock (i.e. a spiked-up mohawk would be "punked out"). has nothing to do with the bad kind of punk, like in prison.

WCYDWT Live: Boat In The River
August 4th, 2010 by Dan Meyer
I haven't found an effective format for online professional development using WCYDWT-style problems. (Nothing, anyway, that compared to three hours of face time with the Kannapolis teachers last month.) So I'm trying something new and looking for twenty volunteers to get an advance look at my newest WCYDWT problem tomorrow afternoon and run through it with me as math students in a DimDim room.
Total time commitment: 45 minutes. I'll post the problem and the webinar results shortly thereafter.
If you're into it, leave a comment using an e-mail address where I can reach you. Feel free to push it past twenty. If any participants are absent or late, I'll start pushing invites out in the same order I received comments.

For the record, I'd love to open this wider, but until DimDim proves itself as a professional development forum, I'm sticking with the free version, which limits to twenty participants. Thanks again for the interest.
on 05 Aug 2010 at 9:09 am43 Michaela
Wow i am far down the list but would love to try it.
on 05 Aug 2010 at 9:17 am44 Aaron
Looking forward to hearing the results.
Hope it works out!
If you could include a critical evaulation of the whole Dim Dim process that would be great for those
not-so-techie-techie-enthusiasts such as myself.
on 05 Aug 2010 at 1:45 pm45 Audrey
How do we access the archive? I didn't really understand about the email instructions before, sorry!
Feedback from dimdim session.
I liked the initial idea. Brainstorm what question we wanted to answer.
I also liked the the opportunity to "agree" on some values. Time to run up the up escalator and time to run down the stairs.
I would have liked to then have had some time (more than a few minutes) to play around with the these values. I did not want to miss any of the dialogue and got distracted and never reached an answer.
For an online training: Do the initial stuff. Take a break and prepare as much of a solution as possible. (Break out sessions using dimdim if you want small group work?) and then return with some wiki pages of work to show everyone.
Thanks for your time Dan.

on 07 Aug 2010 at 1:21 am51 Tim
OK – neophytical type question here.
I see tremendous possibilities for my physics class (9th grade – conceptual) in using clips like this. BUT … what's the learning curve like?
What do I need in order to be able to
a) video the event – some form of ccd camera with video capabilities I'm sure
b) and here is where I predict the asymptote begins to be noticeable … how does one combine 4 shots in one.
I assume that the camera is tripod mounted and remains stationary between all 4 trials … but then how is it combined into one frame? Will I need a masters in video editing to pull it off. (btw … I'm a PC …. and I see that dan's a mac)
Honestly, the part I was proudest of here was thinking to use an iPod to keep time. That's the top of the asymptote for me.
Your other assumptions about how I shot this thing are right on. The final part, combining four plates into one, is more expensive than difficult. It'll cost you $360 at Academic Superstore. I'll have a tutorial up shortly so you can decide if this is a skill you'd like to pursue, invest in, etc.

Can someone tell me where to find the "Dirt" problem. I've clicked every logical link, googled every relevant term I can think of and I can't find the original clip/problem! Help! I'm feeling quite foolish (and out of the loop) right now!!!!
Hi Maria, thanks for the inquiry. I'm posting that one, plus the results of our live session, early this week.

Thanks, Dan. I didn't stay in the discussion yesterday because I felt the spot would be better used by someone who had knowledge of the problem. Looking forward to seeing that one and future problem-solving ideas. They are really opening up avenues of creative thought for me and consequently, my future students.

Man accused of returning used enemas
Prosecutors: Man resealed enemas, which were resold
Prosecutors say a Florida man resealed and returned used enemas to pharmacies who resold them to unsuspecting customers.
Ronald Eugene Robinson, of Jacksonville, faces federal charges of tampering with consumer products.
If convicted, the 34-year-old Robinson faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Authorities say the customers who purchased the used enemas have been notified.
There were two phone listings for a Ronald E. Robinson in Jacksonville. The first was disconnected and no answered the second number.
Online prices list basic enemas as costs from about $3 to $10 each.

The Glass Bottom Boat is a 1966 American romantic comedy film directed by Frank Tashlin, starring Doris Day and Rod Taylor, with Arthur Godfrey, Dick Martin, Dom DeLuise and Paul Lynde. It is also known as The Spy in Lace Panties.[1]
Axel Nordstrom manages a glass-bottom boat tourist operation in the waters of Santa Catalina Island, California. His widowed daughter, Jennifer Nelson, occasionally helps by donning a mermaid costume and swimming underneath his boat for the passengers' amusement.
One day, Jennifer accidentally meets Bruce Templeton when his fishing hook snags her costume. He reels in the bottom half, leaving the irate Jennifer floating in the water without pants. Jennifer later discovers that Templeton is a top executive at her new place of employment, a NASA aerospace research laboratory in Long Beach, where she works in public relations.
Templeton later recognizes Jennifer at the research laboratory and hires her for a new full-time assignment: to be his biographer and write his life story. His real purpose is to win her affections. There is a problem: the laboratory's security chief, Homer Cripps, after observing her mysterious behavior and curious, code-like phone calls, concludes that Jennifer is a Soviet spy. To prove his suspicions, he has Jennifer put under surveillance by everyone at the lab. When she learns of this, Jennifer sets out to turn the tables on the bumbling Cripps by pretending that she is a spy, a charade that eventually exposes a real spy.

*Pearce and Tobias play an inquisitive wife and her disinterested husband, in roles not unlike the ones they played at the time in the television series Bewitched.
Robert Vaughn, famous at the time for playing Napoleon Solo in the TV series The Man from U.N.C.L.E., makes a very brief non-speaking appearance as a sight gag; the theme from his TV series is heard when he is seen onscreen.
Shooting partly took place on Catalina Island. It was Rod Taylor's second film with Doris Day following Do Not Disturb.[2]
The Nautilus boat used in the film sank in the Catalina harbor in 2008. It is currently drydocked in a private part of the island.
The mermaid costume worn by Doris Day in the opening scene is now on display at the Catalina Casino and can be viewed on the Casino tour.
The film's score was composed by Frank DeVol and includes selections from Beethoven's "Symphony No. 5 in C minor", Mendelssohn's "Wedding March in C major", "Aloha 'Oe" (written by Queen Liliuokalani) and Goldsmith's "Theme from The Man from U.N.C.L.E."
Day sings a shortened version of "Soft as the Starlight" (written by Joe Lubin and Jerome Howard), which she previously sang in its entirety on the 1957 album Day by Night. The song "The Glass Bottom Boat" is a rearrangement of "Soft as the Starlight" with completely different lyrics and is heard twice in the film: over the opening credits, sung by Day, and again as source music sung by Day, Taylor, Godfrey and Fraser. Day also sings a single verse from her signature song, "Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)" (written by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans). Dick Martin sings a brief a cappella rendition of "Be My Love" (written by Sammy Cahn and Nicholas Brodszky).
The film was an attempt to appeal both to Day's traditional fans and to a younger audience. It was a success financially, earning $4,320,000 in North American rentals by the end of 1966.[3][4]
It drew 21,752 admissions in France.[5]
Day followed up with Caprice (1967), a comedy-thriller more completely in the spy spoof genre, again with Tashlin directing, but it was a critical and commercial failure.
The DVD of The Glass Bottom Boat (released in 2005) includes three vintage featurettes (Catalina Island, Every Girl's Dream, and NASA), as well as the Oscar-Winning cartoon The Dot and the Line.

I'm Old – Well not me specifically although having said that I do remember a time when there was only 3 TV channels to watch on UK TV. No, I'm referring to my character on World of Warcraft (WoW) for he is a level 60 Tauren shaman who has seen much of the land of Azeroth and has done many deeds, both heroic and not so heroic. This review is a very different tack to the normal witterings you may read elsewhere on WoW as it focuses entirely on the high level end of the game. For that my dear reader, is infinitely more revealing about WoW than the climb up the ladder to get there in the first place.
Hang on, haven't we been here before?
Regular visitors to TB may have noticed that I have written about WoW before. I did indeed do a preview of WoW back in the beginning of 2005. The contents of that preview will regail those who have no prior knowledge of WoW with basic gameplay details which this review will take for granted. I therefore recommend that any of you reading this now that have little to no knowledge of WoW read that first HERE. Once you have read it come back to this article to find out how the game plays once you start killing dragons and such!
Are we sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin
The life of a shaman is a grim one on WoW. Shaman are a unique class to the Horde side and are a jack of all trades yet masters of none. Shamans can cast spells, heal themselves and can hit real hard too. They have few weaknesses which makes attacking them rather difficult. It is because of this fact that many players, especially those who have characters on the alliance side cry 'over powered' when ever they have their first head to head combat against a shaman. This has resulted in players targeting shaman first during any encounter for they are regarded as the bain of Azeroth due to their flexibility. The above must be kept in mind as I divulge to you my experiences on the European WoW server, Draenor.
DING! 60….oh no…now what?
I remember the day I hit level 60 with my shaman. I required 150 experience points to achieve it and I was in Western Plaguelands at the time. I spotted a rather large spider and swatted him swiftly. DING! I cried as I hit 60. Floods of 'Gratz' appeared on the text view and I was most pleased with myself. I had managed to climb to the top of the level tree and all the quests that I had done and the monsters I had killed had gotten me to this point. Seconds later another feeling swept over me, one of sadness and uncertainty. Was this it? What's the point of carrying on now that the level progression has ceased? The answer lay in a little place called Alterac Valley…
I want better stuff! Why? So that I can kick those tree hugging, bunny rabbit loving Alliance players off the face of Azeroth!
I was not alone in this problem as by the time I had reached level 60 there were over 100 players that had also achieved this goal. I did a quick search for them in the game and found that they were doing one of two things. Dungeon hacking and killing alliance players both of which were intrinsically linked. For the only reason to go to dungeons is to get better equipment. Why get better equipment? So that it'll be easier to cleave the skull of those meddling alliance players!
Nethack has a lot to answer for
Since the invention of Adventure and, more appropriately, Nethack, the concept of getting through a dungeon filled to the brim with monsters, most of whom appear to have spawned from the depths of hell itself has been oddly appealing. Even more so when you are doing it with others. WoW exploits this extremely well by the use of 'Instances'. These were described briefly in my preview but they are the very core of the game once a player reaches level 60. High level players will go to great lengths to gather groups together and attempt to run through an instance with the aim of grabbing a long coveted item from the clutches of some monster that isn't keen on letting it go. To give you a glimpse of what this is like I'm about to describe to you an actual raid on an instance that I participated in.
Remember your training and you will make it back alive!
The wind was howling through the dreary misshapen woods of the Eastern Plaguelands. 10 members of the horde had gathered outside the back entrance to the stronghold of the Scourge known as Stratholme. The group was a raid group i.e. two separate groups of players joined in an alliance forming a raid party. WoW allows players to do this to aid in the progression through the dungeon although any quests that are attempted there will fail due to the size of the group. Strength may be in numbers but sometimes it can make things way too easy.
The two groups were organised into effective fighting units with each group having healers (priests), tanks (warriors), nukers (mages/warlocks/rogues) and other classes such as shaman and hunters. All have their role to play and each player knows it well for they have done this dozens of times before! This is a key point to note about playing as a high level character. 9 times out of 10 when entering dungeons with other level 60 players they know what they are doing. Tactics are carefully laid out and followed. If they are not then a 'wipeout' (everyone in the party is killed) occurs and no one wants that…
Bullish with confidence my raid group set off into the depths of Stratholme. We were soon confronted by a host of undead all of whom wanted us to also sport the 'rotting flesh' look. Well those of us who weren't already undead! Anyway we all ran in and quickly started to put our battle tactics into action. I, as a shaman, put down totems that added armor and health regeneration which aided the tanks when they began beating the merry hell out of the masses of undead. I did this while also wading in and keeping an eye on the priests health and mana levels for if he fell I would have to take over. We were making excellent progress with this set up until we encountered a rather large bat like creature.
Unfettered we turned to face this new threat only for it to invoke fear into the entire raid group. At this point we all started to run in many directions at a great distance right into a group of even more undead creatures. We closed up again to defend ourselves but were quickly outnumbered and were annihilated. in very short order. Much recriminations were said by most of the raid group with most pointing at the two shamans for not putting down tremor totems down which negates fear attacks. My only defence for this was the fact that I hadn't been to Stratholme before and was unaware that these creatures cast fear. So much for knowing what you're doing eh? All was not lost however as I resurrected myself (a rare talent we shaman have) and then set about resurrecting the rest of the raid group. We dusted ourselves off and changed our tactics to allow for these bats with the use of termor totems being a key change!
You, me, outside, NOW!
We fought our way through waves of monsters and a fair few boss creatures too. All of this was to gain an audience with the ruler of Stratholme. Called Baron Rivendare he is nasty brute that fights whilst mounted on a skeletal horse. He pulses out a negative aura that hits players for 150 hp per second and has the ability to sacrifice risen undead to heal himself during combat. So I'm sure you're asking now, how did we defeat this monster? Well it was all in the planning and the key was his self healing. He needs his undead minions to heal himself. If they are not there, he can't heal himself! So we split the raid party into two. The tanks attacked the baron and the priests kept them alive. Everyone else killed the undead minions that the baron summoned over and over again. Oh yes, it worked!
Together we stand, and all that!
So what's my point here? Well the reason people play games like WoW is that it enables people to work together for a common goal. Whether it's fighting almost impossibly difficult creatures or defending your homestead against those foul alliance players (ahem) there is a tremendous amount of satisfaction to be had when fighting the odds with others alongside you.
Alterac Valley. The name conjures memories of me and 39 other high level horde players smashing the lines of the alliance forces as we force our way northward to their encampment for Alterac Valley is the location of the Battlegrounds PvP arena that has just been released for WoW at no extra charge (can you hear us Sony Online Entertainment? , EverQuest 2 expansions ripoff *cough*). Alterac Valley and Warsong Gulch both offer up the chance for players to have a bit of a fight within the confines of an instance, similar to the dungeons described above. Alterac Valley is for high level players only and has both the horde and the alliance fighting over spawn points AKA grave yards in a similar fashion to Battlefield 1942 the main difference being that BF1942 players prefer to use the Thompson/MP40 as opposed the Sword of the Bear + 20. Warsong Gulch on the other hand is for players level 20 and above. Its a much more basic Capture the Flag affair with both sides earning honour points as they manage to acquire the flag from the opposing side. There are no NPC's or monsters and the numbers are limited to 20 players, 10 each side. This makes for a very fast paced experience. quite unlike the rest of the game!
Graphics, Sound, Multiplayer, Deaf & Female Aspect
What I said in my preview of WoW still holds true to the final game so I won't regurgitate any of it here. Suffice to say it all meets with my approval.
WoW is fun with a capital F. Blizzard have spent a huge amount of time on this game and it really shows for the game oozes quality. It is a shot across the bows for any other developer who wants to get a piece of the lucrative MMO pie. People won't put up with half finished titles just because it's an MMO which, until the release of WoW, it was seen to be acceptable to release a half finished game onto the unsuspecting gaming public and let them beta test it for you. Blizzard have set the standard for future MMO's and many other games that have released since WoW appear to have suffered as a result. The best examples being Matrix Online and Neocron 2 both of which have met with justifiably harsh criticism.
All I can say is even if you have a passing interest in multiplayer games or any other type of game you'd be a fool not to give WoW a try.

Woman's $10K Mortgage Payment Vanishes Into Thin Air
Happy Friday. I am writing this from my last class of the semester. Then I have 3 finals and I am done.
My school year in Consumerist:
I realized that it only got to October but its still pretty cool right?
Laura, is it possible to love both rodents and felines? I thought that was a conflict of interest, but I don't have pests, so….
Technically, it's possible to own both rodents and felines, as long as you keep a careful eye out and never leave them alone in the same room. If I left my bedroom door open, I would find the cat draped over the hamster cage, watching it in fascination. The hamster, for her part, didn't seem to notice. It also helps if the cat is exceptionally stupid, as my roommate's was.
I like cats. If you put a cat in front of me, I'll pet it. If you put a cat picture in front of me, I'll coo at it. But I'm more allergic to cats than other mammals, so I don't have one.
this reminds me, i found a clump of grass on my kitchen floor this morning. but no body. i may now "own" both rodents and felines if they let one loose in the house still alive…
Kittehs! I like the one on the right with his paws up and the one on the left looks so freaked out. I wonder what's going on that he's so freaked.
I'm so glad it's Friday – anyone have fun plans for the weekend? I'm seeing Iron Man 2 tomorrow, then we're going to celebrate mother's day. I still haven't gotten my mom a gift :( I don't know what to get her. We don't share interests and I'm tired of giving her the same things all the time.
I think I will wait to see Iron Man 2 when the crowds die down. Last time I saw a RDJ movie in the theater (Sherlock Holmes) I ended up sitting next to a man whose breathing sounded like snoring. The theater was so packed there was nowhere else to sit.
we're seeing it after work today… and then we might see it in a few weeks at the Imax …
my mum always wants plant to plant. How about a butterfly bush? That was a big hit at my house.
I'm giving her flowers, but she's not a big plant person in any case. I feel like it's kind of an empty gesture. I'd make a batch of cookies but she doesn't eat cookies much either. I'll come up with something.
What about another kind of baked good? I was thinking about making some zucchini bread for my husband's grandma, but he said he's getting her some flowers so I won't bother.
I want to see Iron Man 2 but probably not for a few weeks. I got my Mom a super awesome holiday present (carcoal drawing done super life like of my brother and I from when we were little and one of us now) so I've been relieved of all gift giving for rest of the year. I will probably do something for her when I go home to visit in a few weeks anyways.
I'm going to spend part of the weekend finishing up a video game I need to get done. And find some super good bacon to eat all weekend.
I'm so glad it's Open Thread time. I'm at work all day because my boss is out, and I've seen a whopping 2 people today so far. And I've only had one phone call.
It's feeling like the longest day eevverrr.
I don't really have any plans for the weekend so far.. I'm going to see my dad tomorrow and hopefully somehow pick up something for my mom for mother's day. I'm leaning towards a gift card to a clothing store because she's been avoiding buying any clothes for herself and thinks that black scrubs bottoms are "nice pants" : / I mean, they don't look awful, but they're not "nice pants".
Recently Mr. Aroo found this really amazing local burger place.. and it is soooooo gooooood. OMG. We want to eat there every day, but try not to. Or atleast I try not to, Mr. Aroo would go every day if he felt he could get away with it. lol. They make everything fresh and it is so wonderful. I'm thrilled with them and hope that they get enough business to stay running.
The only other thing I can say is that it feels kind of pathetic but I'm super proud of myself for being able to figure out how to dry my makeup brushes with the bristles down. This is a problem I spent about a week or two thinking about how to solve it, so I'm thrilled with myself that I figured it out. http://twitpic.com/1lcpam
Longest day ever here too. I work at a college and tomorrow is graduation. Half the office is on vacation and the other half (me included) is on a mental vacation.
Most of the people here are away at a mega-conference, so I guess that's why I haven't seen anyone.
I try to stay with sites that are atleast semi-educational (like consumerist) but I'm really tempted to head over to cuteoverload.com just to take the edge off. lol
Any chance this burger place has a location in San Antonio, or is it strictly Houston only?
It's strictly Houston only, it's not a chain, only one location. I heard a rumor that they want to open more locations though. It's actually owned/run by a married couple that used to be gourmet chefs. They don't charge gourmet prices though, fortunately. It's really quite awesome.
I order the kid's sized burger because the regular burgers are huge (1/2 pound!) and I have them add bacon, and omg… the bacon.. it's so good.. it's thick and I think pepper crusted. It's just wonderful.
that's a good idea. if that ever fails you .. i've seen this http://tinyurl.com/327jzr4
My brush hanging suggestion was better. Magnets!
The comments this week were hysterical.
I wish my office (and the whole building) didn't have centipedes falling from the ceiling, spiders and milipedes.
Tennessee has the most insects I've ever seen. Even more so than when I lived in Florida.
And Boston just has rats and mice.
ugh. We keep getting crawly-fast cave centipedes in our house here in Northern VA, but otherwise there aren't too many bugs. I think I'd freak out if there were insects falling from the ceiling. Umbrella over desk, maybe?
It's summer and I've started seeing some bugs here. I need to buy some cedar chips or something to protect my yarn from moths and hit up doorways and windows with Raid.
It's been a surprisingly long time since the bugs have been a problem. It must be the new pest control guys the apartment complex is using.
I knew you were a knitter when you posted a link to the Namaste bags. I long for one of those bags, I just haven't put up the cash for one.
Those bags are so pretty I'd use it as an every day purse and the knitterly parts would just be a happy bonus.
I'm fighting the ant wars at home now. I wish I could afford to have the pros come; I think there's a nest under my house. I ain't going in there.
So open question: I've been thinking about getting a pet (and no, it can't be a cat), and I've been leaning towards hedgehog, or maybe hamster. Does anyone have any insights or suggestions?
Laura is the resident hamster expert, so hopefully she'll chime in.
I've had hamsters in the past, but I have never managed to figure out how to keep them from escaping their cage/habitat. Those cute habitats with the tubes and things seem really fun until they somehow figure out how to use their lil teeth to pull up the plastic door and escape. One hamster I had figured that out and kept doing it repeatedly.
The glass aquarium thing seems to work, but I've seen people put almost an entire bookshelf of books on the lid to keep the hamster from escaping. lol.
Hedgehogs seem fun, but much less cuddley than a hamster. Have you considered a guinnipig or chinchilla? Not that I'm nocking hamsters, they are super cute. (Laura, don't hurt me!)
Both of mine thought that my husband's fleece lined slippers were the perfect place for a new nest. Never had any trouble finding them when they escaped. They were really really good at getting out, i'll have to admit.
Chinchillas are lovely, but a little more high maitenence than I think I can handle. I like hamsters because they'll be ok on their own for a weekend. I'm not sure how other little critters deal with that.
I don't know if you could really have a pet that you can leave behind for a weekend without anyone looking after it. Whenever we go out of town, we have someone watching ours or we board him. Whatever pet you choose, just make sure someone's willing to check in on him whenever you're away.
I have left hamsters alone for a few days. They don't care. Usually I ask a roommate to at least glance at them once a day to make sure there's food and water and the critter is still alive. Some roommates I can actually trust to do this.
Or leave the cage at a friend's house if you don't have roommates. It's not like cleaning a litterbox or walking a dog.
I've been facinated by them ever since I saw one on tv take a "dust bath" in a jar. It just looked like so much fun. Sooo cute too.
I like guinea pigs and chinchillas, and I'd be open to a gerbil. I'm an animal lover; I just happen to like hamsters and dogs since I've had hams since I was 10 and dogs since I was 8.
My current cage of choice is a storage bin. You cut a window in the top and cover that with wire mesh, and put ventilation holes in the sides. The top snaps down securely. (you can get clips that do the same thing for aquarium tops)
Unfortunately, if you're Rodney, you stand on top of the igloo you sleep in and gnaw away at the ceiling until there's a hole large enough to crawl through, and then eat everything in sight until I find you half-dead with your face covered with bloody vomit.
You know what's a pretty low-maintenance pet that you CAN leave around for a few days without even feeding it? Tarantulas.
I've had quite good luck with hamsters. Had females both times, don't know how males act, but they were sweet, very interested in being handled, loved to play (especially in the hamster ball). Both of my girls lived very long and active lives, and brought me a lot of joy. The only reason I don't have another one is that three cats and a dog are almost more than I can handle, wouldn't be able to give another pet the attention they'd need.
Males are usually more mellow and happy to interact and bond with humans but less intelligent, and more interested in escaping from their cages. Male Syrians (Golden/Teddy Bear) in particular. Females raise the babies alone, so they're a little more territorial and defensive. That's a generalization that has plenty of exceptions, though.
In my experience, male dwarf hamsters stink more than female, but there's not a noticeable difference between male and female Syrians.
Find a private breeder if one is available…if a human interacts with them every day, they'll be nice and tame. Still working on taming Chester, who I got from Petsmart two weeks ago.
I too, want a low maintenance pet. And it cannot be a rodent, because rodents are not allowed in the apartment complex. And it cannot be a snake either. Or may be it could be. I need to check.
Duh, you should get a blue parrot that says, "PEEEEEKABOO!" and "How YOU doin?!"
Can you get a lizard or gecko? I'd totally do that, especially given all my animal allergies, but I just can't bring myself to feed them bugs ::shudder:: maybe I could set them loose and they'd solve my silverfish problem
I housesat for a family once that had an iguana. It's a kickass pet and fairly low maintenance. It wasn't unfriendly (just don't think it'll ever be cuddley) and would sit on your shoulder. Also, bonus, it doesn't stink like a lot of pets do so if you're in an apartment you have that going for you.
I really like bettas. Or would you prefer not-a-fish?
I've longed for a hedgehog for years, but I know my cats would view it not as a new addition to the family but as a snacking challenge.
i've known two hedgehogs and they both were vicious biters.
i've known one chinchilla and it was very sweet and not high maintenance at all.
most mammals aside from cats tend to need a minder/feeder if left alone more than a day.
Hedgehogs are SO cute. They're more of a challenge to care for and tame than a hamster or guinea pig, though.
Ugliest animals ever.
I called about a new job today. Waitressing, but at least not McDonalds. Wish me luck!
I slipped on the floor at McD's the other day, and I'm a little sore on my landing side, nothing major, but it reminded me of something stupid from the mouth of Our Lady of Incompetence, the store manager. She said that if she warns someone about something (It's slippery there, careful on that ladder), and you get hurt anyway, she's in the clear from workman's comp because you were warned. Is that true? That seems really easily abused if it were.
There's a place for anonymous notes to be placed, and I'm not sure it's ever actually used/checked, but I think I'm going to have to put one in about the new chick she hired. Just ebcause she's your friend, does not mean she's allowed to talk on the phone, chew gum, be promoted without knowing anything, or not wear a hat, and just because she's your friend does not mean she's not lazy, stupid, or a thief. No-one wants to say anything because she's her pet. :/
Good luck for the new job, it sounds like you could use it!
I wish I could offer advice about the worker's comp, but I don't really know anything about it. That does sound shady to me though.
I'd think that a verbal warning wouldn't override the employer's obligation to provide a safe work environment.
Good luck on the job hunt.
Hm….I'm in HR but I'm hazy on Worker's Comp stuff. I believe that a verbal warning doesn't release them from their obligation. If you are injured while on your employer's property in the course of your employment, it should be covered under worker's comp.
Think of all those people who injury their backs while lifting things…or get carpal tunnel. A company is obligated to provide a safe work environment per OSHA, and many offer further training and warnings to reduce injury and therefore the amounts that they have to pay out, but when injury occurs, they are still liable as long as it can be demonstrated that the injury occurred on their property.
Okay, so question for the Consumerist crowd.
Last year, I got into a fender bender. The car needed some body work, so I turned it in at the shop, and they worked on it, and returned it looking as good as new. Great.
BUT they apparently didnt put all the screws on the radiator, and so it was pretty much hanging freely. This was in September. I did not notice anything odd at first – or for several months, in fact.
Then sometime last month, one of the fans got really loud at certain times. I figured it was a minor niggle that would get worked out restarting(I work with computers, can you tell?). But no such luck, and it in fact got louder and scarier.
So I called the delaership, and got an appointment. Today, the guy checks it out, and says that the radiator was leaning on the fans, making one of the fans not turn, and the other trying to compensate for it. And both the fans are damaged. They need to be replaced.
AND because this was caused by tinkering, the warranty would not cover it. And I am out of a thousand bucks.
In summary:
Car gets into fender bender, but radiator is fine.
Body shop fixed the body, but forgets to screw on the radiator.
Radiator causes damage to the fans.
Fans need replacing.
So, my question is this: 8 months after the body work, can I still go to the body shop about the problem and get them to reimburse (at least a part of) the expenses?
Will the insurance company want to have anything to do with it?
I don't know but can't hurt to ask. Just do it nicely (as we see being nice works better) and they might be willing to do so. Can you get (force) the auto body place to pay? Probably not.
I do suspect unless you have written or visual proof that the radiator was actually fine, a not so good shop will tell you it was the accident and not their resposiblity and to take it up with your insurance. But if you do have proof, not sure what insurance will do as they'll probably tell you it was fine at the time of report and it's not their problem.
Your insurance company should know what you think in case they recommend people there and AAA if you have it, you can let them know too.
First off, you'll have to get a written statement from the other shop about the fans and the missing screw causing it, and take pictures as well. You'll need that documentation before trying to call the other shop. Once you have it, you could try talking to the folks at the body shop, bring in your original invoice for the body work as well, because it will show they were working in that area of your car.
Hopefully they'll be nice and fix it, but they'll likely be a bastard. You might have to get a consumer advocate office or your AG involved if you want this to go anywhere.
Yup. I talked to the repair shop guy, and he said he can give it in writing. Will have to take pics of the fan though. They already attached the screws. I do have all the invoices and whatnots. Including the latest one that states that the screws were totally missing. I dont really expect the shop to pay up. If they do its a good thing.
And I can always leave polite but scathing reviews on various sites ;)
Did the body shop offer any warranty/guarantee (Why do those words sound similar but are spelled so differently?) with their repair? When Mr. Aroo hit a dog (unavoidable.. booo.) and we took it to get the bumper replaced the repair shop had a lifetime waranty on the repair. Six months or so later we went to have the oil changed and there were strange noises coming from the driverside front wheel. Turns out that plastic black liner in the wheel well was never replaced properly. We managed to drive it back to the body shop that day and they fixed it right away, no problem.
This may be because our insurance company lists them as a "blue ribbon shop" or whatever their title is, so it's explicitly guaranteed by them.
Hi Consumerist! Been waiting for an open thread to ask this question: Is there something I don't get about the numbering of comments in a post? Often I'll be reading through and will click to the next page of comments, to see "51-65" with 3 comments there. Or maybe, "101-150" with the last 30 comments I read on the page before. What am I missing?
yeah, i've noticed that too.
I just figured they're also counting the number of (nested) replies to each comment in the total number.
I think there's something weird with the formatting because it does this to me when I'm on IE. You have to refresh when you get to the posts and then all of them will show up.
Everything gets wonky after page 2 also.
It seems like the page may only load 10 new comments at the bottom and the rest are comments from the previous page.
From what I can gather, everything stays on the front page until the comments total hits 50(includes replies), whereupon any new comments automatically go to page 2. So if there are two comments with 24 replies each on the first page, and someone posts a new comment, it will be on page two. even though there are only two main comments shown.
So I haven't been around this week for 2 reasons…1) the aforementioned moving and 2) I've become kind of hot commodity…
After the floods hit Nashville last weekend, I woke up on Monday morning and wrote this:
Prior to writing that, the most comments we had ever had on an article was 20. Within an hour or two, it was up over 100. And my inbox started filling up. Later that afternoon, a person from the Nashville City Paper asked if they could rerun it…I told them that they could, so it ran there. Then someone was listening to a local radio show…and they read it out loud there. The next morning, two more stations read it…and it was linked on Huffington Post (with a tag with my name on it), Rachel Maddow's blog and ESPN.com. That afternoon, Dave Ramsey read it on the air…yesterday, Rush Limbaugh read it on his show. The Tennessean has requested permission to rerun it and ran a story. This morning, I had an interview at the local FOX affiliate…Tuesday I'm a guest on a local talk show…we've started working with some groups to sell t-shirts to benefit the flood victims and they are selling out as fast as we can print them with the "We Are Nashville" slogan on them.
Needless to say…I didn't expect this to be what happened to me this week.
you got the word out. good stuff. but the first time the internet threw up on me i felt a little bizarre about it, i bet you are too
No wonder it got so much play…that article was awesome.
Nice read.
I'm over in Knoxville and we didn't get hit that bad.
My boyfriend has family over there that got caught up in the flooding but with little damage to their homes.
My co-worker was at the Opry Hotel and had to be evacuated to the high school. She lost her car (and some belongings) in the flood and just found out her insurance is covering less than what she owes. So she's pretty miserable right now…. but lucky considering.
Haiti/Indonesia/etc didn't really draw attention to themselves in the way you mentioned in your article. So I don't know if that's really the reason why much attention hasn't been focused on Nashville. I think you're basing it on Katrina only (?)
I think the reason why Nashville wasn't covered as much (although I've seen/read quite a bit) is because it seems like natural disasters are happening constantly now. I think everyone is jaded about natural disaster news… and donations will probably be less because the media/celebrities focused so much on the recent earthquakes and everyone's money went to that.
I think it also has a lot to do with the death count. I know people lost their lives over there but compared to Katrina/Haiti/that tsunami, I think people aren't as "interested" (for lack of a better word) in donating/helping out.
It's sad, really.
The whole thing is depressing.
Wow, I didn't realize at first you wrote that article. I had seen it quoted on another blog somewhere.
Wow, what a great article. Congratulations. My "friend" is from TN but his family lives in the eastern part of the state, nearly into NC. I had to make collection calls yesterday and one of them was to a place in Nashville. Needless to say, no one answered the phone, but I was able to leave a message. I said "Please call us when you're able and I hope you all are okay." I didn't want to even call them, but I had to.
Santa Cruz felt a little bit like that after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. Because of the collapse of the Nimitz freeway in Oakland and the Marina district damage in San Fran, no one paid any attention to poor little Santa Cruz. They were at the epicenter and got absolutely pounded, with several deaths. But they are a lot like Nashville, I guess; just picked up and went on as best they could. I feel for everyone there.
Kiiiiittens. Making me want them through the power of their cute.
I made my own cats at home this week — not real ones, of course! They're called Pocket Cats, and I have yet to identify any purpose they serve but they're coming with me to the art show tonight: http://www.flickr.com/photos/30082039@N07/sets/72157622184912628/
where's that going to be at?
Awwww.. those are really cute. They remind me of my great aunt that would have things in her pockets or purse and silently pull them out while we were at church to keep me from being bored as a young child.
She also had snacks. I love her.
Those are really cute! I bet you could sell them on Etsy.
i feel successful! my a/c broke last weekend and i figured out what was wrong. turned out there was some blockage in the air ducts which backed up the cold air. cleared the ducts and let the ice melt off the coils and it's all better! yay for no expensive repairs. also, it turns out the library has air conditioning repair manuals … never hesitate to look for the right how to books at the library!
sometime wednesday someone mowed down part of my clover and drove a riding mower over the moss on my yard. just a front part near the road.
i've nearly got my yard the way i want it with wild strawberries and clover:
but there's a few tall annoying clumps of hard to kill grass
so i suspect that's continuing to annoy my lawn bully neighbor. but it's annoying to me too so last night i went and got a bunch of landscaping nails and nailed tarps over some of the tall clumps of grass and trampled on them so the sun will cook them to death and they will compost back into the yard. i have a few more tarps to put out this weekend and then i will leave them for as long as it takes. can't wait to see what the neighbor does to protest this.
now on to a 5 day weekend which will include teaching my sister's latest batch of feral foster kittens what a toy is. these are videos of their first toy ever in their whole lives, on the second day after they met humans for the first time
I sent out eighty-five packages today and I'm not doing another thing. I don't care if I get in trouble. I'm done for the damn day.
Next time, don't commit to a ship date before you finalize the packet contents, BOSS.
I hate it when you post pictures of obscenely cute kittehs! It makes me want to go miraculously birth a litter of my own.

In my last post, I lauded Piers Morgan for showing up in his interview of Oprah and doing a great job. The question is how can we do that, show up in our own lives? Well here are some concrete steps that you can use to show up and make your day amazing.
1. Remember that even when you don't know it, you're shaping your experience of life. So take charge and commit to making the rest of the day the best it could possibly be.
2. Now, breathe, and get out of your head and into the present moment. How? Imagine your energy moving out of your head, where it's likely been running riot, and into your body, your core.
3. Next, smile, even if you don't want to. Now let your heart smile.
4. Finally, pick the three things that need to get done that would most impact your life. Then one by one, take the first tiny step toward getting them done. Tomorrow you can take the next step. But at least get things in motion. Make those calls that you need to make, especially the ones you've been avoiding. Just take action!
And that's it. Already you're going to be feeling quite good about yourself, and the day is suddenly awesome.

D800 file sizes
I do a lot of shooting in poorly-lit high school gyms capturing volleyball and basketball games.
Currently, I use a D300 (set at ISO 3200) and a Nikkor 70-200 f 2.8 zoom lens. I am not happy with the resultant photos due to noise.
So, I'm thinking of checking out the D800 (or D600) because of their touted low-light performance.
But, I am concerned about the photo file size. I usually shoot NEF, and do some processing and save the images as medium resolution JPG files.
What would an "average" file size be (how many MB) for shooting NEF and then saving as the medium JPG? What about a D600 file?
Any advantages of the D800 or D600 for my use as indicated above?

I am having trouble understanding your question. I don't know what a "medium" jpg is. When I save JPEG files, I give them a length and width, as well as a resolution. They are all exactly the same size.
As for use in a low light gym shooting sports, I give the nod to the D600 over the D800. Though both will be quite superior to the D300 in terms of noise performance. The D800 may well seem slow to you for frame rate, and the D600 may seem slow for focus performance. Then again, it may not. Rent or borrow one for a weekend and see.

Honestly, having had a D800 since June and a D700 for 2 years prior I'd go with the D700 for indoor sports. Mostly for frame rate and similar low light level performance. Cheaper, too. And you won't have to worry about file size.
I've shot some football recently with the D800. Made me want to go running back to a D700 or even a D300. Not saying it can't be done -- it most certainly can be. Just that the D800 and D600 are not your only (best) choices.
If you're selling pics, I'd definitely consider a D3 or D3s before going with a D600/800 for sports.
#3. "RE: D800 file sizes" | In response to Reply # 0mfphoto1 Registered since 29th Oct 2005Wed 07-Nov-12 01:13 PM
I shoot the D800 and my raw file size ranges from 38-48 mb right out of the camera. I processed some images yesterday as medium jpegs (quality 10 in image processing out of bridge) my files range from 3-6 mb at 300 ppi.
I also came from a D300 and the raw file size is quite a jump. It works for me, but it's way more than most people need or want. As far as the D800 itself as far as function and quality of picture I love it. I warn you there will be a learning curve shooting with it and shooting sports with it will definitely take some time to adjust to.

PARKERSBURG - The Parkersburg High School Stadium Committee plans to sell $20 commemorative coins at Friday night's football game.
The new bleachers will be used for the first time since renovations were made to Stadium Field.
"We wanted to do something commemorative that people could purchase to be a reminder of this event and what all went into it," said committee member Rex Foster. "To show the effort and energy put into this by everybody in the community."

The commemorative coins Parkersburg High School purchased should be available for $20 on Friday and will look similar to this image.
Foster said the coins will hopefully arrive on Friday and be a way for community members to donate money for the rest of the stadium renovations. It will mark the first PHS football game played with the new bleachers.
The committee purchased 1,000 coins, which will be sold on a first-come, first-serve basis near the tent where the football boosters sell T-shirts, hats and other PHS items.
Foster, who graduated from PHS in 1978 and his son, Kyle, is the punter on the football team, said he is invested in the school and community. He is president of the Big Red football boosters club.
"It was the stadium committee's idea - trying to have some discussions of significant ways to recognize the first game played on the field since the (community) efforts," Foster said.
The committee toyed with several ideas, including a commemorative ticket, before deciding to sell the coins, Foster said. He said 100 percent of the money raised Friday will go for renovations of Stadium Field.
If the coins do not arrive in time to sell Friday, they will be sold at the next home game or at other locations in the city, he said.
"People should be able to find them without any trouble," Foster said.

The Department of Natural Resources will host a Michigan Wolf Forum on Friday, June 3, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ramada Inn, located at 412 W. Washington St. in Marquette.
The Michigan Wolf Forum represents many diverse stakeholders with various points of view of wolf management in Michigan. The participants will be asked to identify the strengths and weaknesses in implementation of the state's Wolf Management Plan. Participants will also discuss new opportunities or issues with wolf management in Michigan, including the current move by the US Fish and Wildlife Service to delist the wolf as a federally endangered species in the Western Great Lakes states.
"The Forum is a way for stakeholders to give us feedback on the Michigan Wolf Management Plan's implementation and helps improve communication with our stakeholders," said DNR Wildlife Chief Russ Mason. "We are opening the Forum up to the public to allow their participation in the process."
At 10:30 a.m. DNR Endangered Species Coordinator Christopher Hoving will update the Forum on the federal delisting process for wolves in the Western Great Lakes states. At 11:30, there will be a review of the Michigan Wolf Management Plan, followed by a discussion of the plan by participants.

The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is committed to the conservation, protection, management, use and enjoyment of the state's natural and cultural resources for current and future generations. For more information, go to www.michigan.gov/dnr.
