Basic Info about Land Hermit Crabs :
Land Hermit Crabs are fascinating animals. Hermit Crabs make great pets because they do not carry any known disease and are hypo-allergenic, which make Hermit Crab a perfect pet for those with allergies. Land Hermit Crabs are very low maintenance and are easy to take care of. Also they are odorless. In the wild Land Hermit Crabs live inland away from the water. Land hermit crabs are also non-aggressive, unlike many of the sea crabs. However, when a Hermit Crab grabs your skin, the Hermit Crab will release immediately upon contact with water. Simply place the hermit crab pincher under warm running water (make sure it's not hot) and the hermit crab will instinctively release. Hermit crabs are nocturnal and are more active at night than during the day. Hermit Crabs are not solitary animals and it is suggested to have more than one because of their social nature. In fact, in the wild we see Hermit Crabs move from one area to another as a group. Some natives even refer to them as "soldier crabs" due to their habit of "trooping" in numbers.
You may feed your Land Hermit Crab various kinds of fruits and vegetables (pieces of lettuce, grapes, bananas, etc). But these should be removed the next day because they are perishable. Hermit crabs also enjoy various other foods such as dry cereal, peanut butter, popcorn, and crackers. Give them a pinch three times a week. Please do not feed them any extremely spicy or hot foods. If desired, commercial Hermit Crab food can be purchased to insure a proper diet that gives them all the vitamins and minerals they need. But be aware that some commercial foods contain fish that have an odor that could make your crab smells like fish. Also it is a good idea to leave them without any food 1 or 2 days a week so they can consume food they hide coner of their cage. This allows them to mimic the behaviors that they would exhibit in the wild.
From time to time your Hemit Crab must shed its exoskeleton in order to grow. Hermit Crabs have the ability to grow back any missing part through a process called molting. They may stop moving altogether for a few weeks to even a few months. This is why a lot of hermit crab owners think that their crab is dying/dead while they are molting. If there is no odor, your hermit crab is probably molting not dead. It's pretty hard to predict when your hermit crab is going to molt as a new hermit crab owner. The signs of molting crab are 1. Moving more than usuall then suddenly stop moving 2. Their skin become lighterand and ashy colored. 3.Crabs are not being able to hold body tight. 4. Hermit crabs may bury themselves. The best way to help them to finish molting safely is placing them in a "molting cage". So isolate them from other crab possibly try to eat molting exoskelton become eatable. The molting cage has to be provided with sand wet on the four corners then place the crab on the center half way into the sand. The cage doesn't has to be big , just enough to fit a molting crab, water, and feeding dish. You might provide sand at least twice deeper than molting crab in the molting cage. A flat shell feeder is ideal as food dish and water. You can offer the hermit crab with calcium by putting crushed cuttlebone or eggshell. If a Hermit Crab looses a leg, claw or even an eye, it can grow it back when the crab molts again. Since they lose 90% of their calcium when they shed their exoskeleton, they will eat their old exoskeleton to regain it.
Hermit crab cage should not be kept in direct sunlight. They are happy in temperatures between 70-85 degrees, and they need air humidity. Placing a sea sponge in the cage will help to increase the humidity. Make sure you boil sea sponges often because hermit crabs also eat sea sponges. Also putting plastic wrap before you put a lid on the top will help to keep more humidity on the cage. it on the side of the tank wall Just make sure to add little holes in the middle of this wrap for air. If your home temperature is lower than 65 degrees, you may consider to place a heating pad on the side of the cage. Do not use a heat lamp because it can dehydrate your crab. A hermit crab can live without food for weeks, even months, but they need a constant supply of fresh water. Spring, distilled or de-chlorinated water(same qulity water for fish tank) is highly recommended (no enhanced water with additives such as dasani). If you have Ecuadorian land hermit crabs, they will require some salt (non-iodized sea salt) in their water. You should also make sure not to allow water to remain under the gravel or sand in their cage, because that can cause bacteria or mites. You can also bathe (less than 5 minutes) or mist these little guys outside of the cage to keep them clean. Hermit crabs will enjoy their shower, but make sure hermt crabs are dry before returning them to their cage after their bath.
Hermit Crabs like all other crustacean have an exoskeleton. This hard exoskeleton only covers the front portion of the body. The tail is very soft and must be protected inside of the shell. When their shell home gets too small or dirty they will go searching for a new one. At that time you should provide them with a few new shells. If you are not sure when they need shells, set empty shells always available in their cage, approximately 10-15% bigger than ones they have. If you set the shells in their cage, they will move in to them by themselves when they are ready. It can also be a great toy for them, even if hermit crabs don't move to new shells right away.

Best Option between Raw and JPEG?
Just got into the DSLR game and bought myself a D5000. Not having processed digital images before, I wonder what the main differences are between RAW and JPEG formats. I have used JPEGS before but never seen RAW as a format. If I intend to do some post processing, am I better saving photos in RAW only, or doing the RAW+JPEG option so I get best of both worlds? Interested in others opinions on this or a link to other posts if it is a basic newbie question Cheers Glyn
#1. "RE: Best Option between Raw and JPEG?" | In response to Reply # 0blw Nikonian since 18th Jun 2004Thu 12-Nov-09 03:25 AM
The most correct answer, as it often is, is "it depends." JPEG is a compressed format, and as such it saves a lot of space, and it also loses some quality every time it's saved. If you're going to do a very small amount of editing, JPEG is a great idea. It's also pretty much the universal format for display and printing, so you'll almost always end up with a finished product in jpeg format.
But raw contains more information - it is like a digital negative. If you're going to do more advanced work, raw is probably a good idea. And some things that are baked into jpeg - like white balance - and are fully adjustable in a raw file.
Most of the advanced photographers around here shoot raw, save in some intermediate format such as either Photoshop or similar, and eventually output in JPEG. But there are some who think that raw is a complete waste of time, and if they get the results they need, more power to them.
Note that a raw file - at least a Nikon DSLR raw file - always includes a JPEG, so you've always got the option of extracting that JPEG if you need it.

Hi Glyn
As Brian said, "it depends." You should probably research the topic in more detail as there is a lot of information out there to help you make an informed decision. I shoot Raw+Jpeg just to make sure that I have a Raw file of those few "great shots" that I want to post-process. With Raw files, you should know that if you are going to do post procesing, that you need a program such as Nikon's Capture NX to recognize, read, and then fully edit the file, whereas JPEGS can be handled by almost all photo editing software. Also, if you take your images to the corner drug store for printing, they will, most likely, not be able to print your Raw files for the same reason. I like to print a lot of my images, right off the card, onto my snapshot printer, and if I didn't shoot JPEGs, I would have to convert the Raws before I could do that.
One important thing to note, as Brian stated, is that JPEGs deteriorate each time that they are opened and saved. So, if you have an image that you really like, and want to keep and view forever, you should have a RAW image.
Best of luck with your new Nikon. My son just bought a D5000, and he loves it.

Thanks Brian / Don, I have started the research and it is complex to say the least. I like you Don, have started using RAW+jpeg so I have both formats. And if you've read my mind, I'm using the Nikon View NX that came with the camera and am getting the hang of it. I'm concerned over the differences in out put from both formats as what I see when I make some changes in RAW, then have to convert to JPEG to take it down the store to print. Do you think there is much degradation of image quality in this process of not enough to concern you guys? hey, lots to learn and play with. Thanks for your input and comments, all appreciated and accepted humbly. Cheers Glyn

Hi Glyn
I don't know if the degredation is significant on the first opening of a JPEG file. However, you can also save a copy of your NEF image as a 14 or 16 bit TIFF file. TIFF's are huge files, but they do not degrade like JPEGS, and most post processing programs can read them. The only problem with the TIFF format is that it takes up a lot of storage space. I keep all of my NEFs and TIFFs on a huge external hard drive which I then back up to another huge external hard drive.
In reading your comments, I'm not sure if you are converting your NEF files JPEGs or merely saving a copy of the NEF as a JPEG. If you save your edited NEF with all of your edits, you can go back at a later date and remove or further edit the NEF. Or, you can save your edits as another NEF file and retain the original unedited NEF. I've never used View NX as an editor, but Caputre NX2 is a non-destructive editor which means that your original NEF is not permanently changed by your edits, as pointed out above.
You can download a full working trial version of Capture NX2 on the Nikon site. You may also want to check out some of the other forums and resources on this site that discuss and answer a lot of questions regarding post processing. I'm not an expert at post processing, but many of the Nikonians are, and you can pick up some good tips and information in the other forums.
Best of Luck

Shoot RAW for most things except perhaps "snap shots". Download a 1 month trial of Lightroom and start "playing" with processing. LR is fairly easy to learn the basics. Like you, when I first started with DLSR, I just shot JPEG, didn't have a clue what RAW was. Now going back and looking at images that I shot with JPEG 4-5 years ago...I's "Man I wish that I had shot that RAW."

Good feedback Steve. Are you still using LightRoom or have you moved on up to something better. I'll give LR a go and see what it has, the Nikon ViewNX is a bit limited. I've used Photoshop before years ago in another life but don't want to spend too much until I know what I want out of this post processing gig. Its pretty interesting stuff though and I'd forgotten all aboutnaperture and DOF using a point and click for so many years. My last SLR was a Canon AE1 which would have been about 20 years ago, so I have a lot of catching up to do. Thanks for the response anyway. Cheers Glyn

Dont underestimate Lightroom 2. It is a very powerful program, and it has cataloging abilities that can create an entire workflow within one program from cataloging, to developing, to printing, etc.
You just have to decide on a workflow no matter which program you go with. It is also quicker and easier to learn than many other programs so it is great for the beginner such as myself.
As to your original question, I shoot raw only since i import everything into lightroom anyways. Then I only convert the pics that are keepers and selects to what ever format i need whenever I need it (jpg,tiff,dng,etc). The rest just stay in the catalogs for future use if ever needed. The most important thing that I have learned is to create a workflow that works for you and your particular situation. That will take research and practice along with trial and error, but if you just keep your Neffs somewhere in the meanwhile, you can always go back and decide later how you want to do it. Like I said, I am nowhere near a pro like many people on this forum but this is what I have learned so far.

WASHINGTON — Eighty U.S. troops have deployed to Chad to help find more than 200 girls who were kidnapped by the Islamic militant group Boko Haram, the White House said in a letter to lawmakers Wednesday.
The girls were abducted from their school in Nigeria last month, and officials in the U.S. and Nigeria fear that the militants might kill their captives or sell them into slavery.
President Barack Obama said the troops would support the operation of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft over northeastern Nigeria, which shares a portion of its border with Chad. Obama said the personnel would remain there indefinitely until their assistance is no longer needed. He did not specify to which service or units the troops are attached.
"This action has been directed in furtherance of U.S. national security and foreign policy interests," Obama wrote.
The Pentagon had already announced that American aircraft, including unarmed drones, were flying over Nigeria to help locate the missing girls and gather intelligence for the Nigerian forces involved in the search. However, the Defense Department would not identify the country from where the aircraft were operating.
DOD officials have said they have no intention of deploying special operations forces to Nigeria to conduct rescue operations.

Multinodular hemangiomatosis of the liver generally occurs in the first six months of life, with the triad of hepatomegaly, high-output congestive heart failure, and cutaneous hemangiomas.1 Early reviews described a poor prognosis with death, generally due to intractable congestive heart failure, occurring within the first year.1,2 More recent reports suggest that a favorable outcome usually results from vigorous supportive care and high-dose corticosteroid therapy.2-4 We have recently encountered two patients, however, who received long-term high-dose corticosteroid therapy without apparent response. In one instance, spontaneous involution and hemodynamic improvement was noted; in the other, hepatic artery ligation was performed successfully. Both patients are alive and well more than two years after diagnosis.

Accountant, Certified and Public
Over time, you will have unhappy customers. You are the one who is going to have to look someone in the eye and tell them their affairs are not in order, they've invested terribly, they're going to be in trouble with the IRS, they owe a ton on their return, and/or their zipper is open. (That last one is just common courtesy.) Your decisions and observations affect lives deeply—you are the stopgap between financial solvency and ruin at times and it's a big fat hairy responsibility.
You are going to work long hours and, if you are a preparer, you will get hardly any sleep at all or see your family for a couple months a year. If you sign an official document containing incorrect information or calculations, or if you fail to properly communicate something to a client in writing, you could be sued for malpractice. It's a pretty stressful job in that sense but it's a vastly different kind of stress than what a breast augmentation surgeon endures during an operation. Yours is a passive stress, a nagging voice that is always whispering in your left ear, to be followed by a balanced whisper on the right.
For stress relief, you will want to invest in a high-quality malleable polyurethane foam rubber ball.

I finally stopped waiting for me to show up and I just did. Fully and completely. Right here, right now. Absolutely no time to play small with anything, any longer. No time to wait to make the "right" decisions. No time to wait for the "perfect" opportunity to show up. No time to wait until I had enough money to become the entrepreneur I was meant to become. No time to wait until I became that better writer to the write the amazing book/blog post/newsletter/website I was meant to write. No time to wait to be that amazingly fit person. No time to wait to become the completely secure person unafraid of being judged with what I wear, how I combed my hair, and with what I had to say. No more time to wait my friends.
I say, "F it and let's go!" It is high time to shake a leg and get this party started now.
I say this after spending an amazing weekend with one of my spiritual teachers, Gabrielle Bernstein, in the beautiful setting of the Berkshires at Kripalu. Truly a transformational time fueling me with magnetic life force ready to take on what the world has in store for me. Having a say in my destiny and in my journey there.
Let me back up here a moment and say that for some time up until now, I was thinking I needed to wait until I was fully ready and as perfected as I could be, to start living the way I truly want to live. But, my friend, time is not kind and the world needs me to show up now and to hear what I have to say even sooner.
So this is now a no-holds-barred zone.
You see, the person I had always imagined myself to be; the amazingly smart, pretty, giving, funny woman, is already here and was this entire time.
I have been doing the world a disservice by limiting myself by showing up and being "awesome" only when I felt I had perfected myself with monster workouts, with acceptable clothing, and acting in ways that I thought people would find me "likable".
The kicker is, I was never anything less this entire 30 plus🙂 years. My insecurity and thoughts of separation were all in my head.
There is a quote by Alice Walker that absolutely resonated with me and pushes this silly theory through, "the most common way people give up their power is thinking they don't have any."
I spent many years believing that I had no power, that people couldn't see me. Honestly, back in the day it would surprise me when people would recognize me at a coffee shop where I would spend much time. How silly to think that people would not recognize or see me after multiple visits? I see this time and time again with others. We are constantly shrinking from being seen by the world and we start to believe that we are less than. That we don't belong. That people don't see us.
We are constantly creating separation amongst ourselves and that allows us not to see one another when we walk into a shop, walk past one another on the street or get on a bus. We are in our heads. Not even aware that we are so disconnected. At the end of the day no one is really thinking about us. No one is thinking how amazing it would be if they could have the "gorgeous" purse over our shoulder or designer shoes or whatever you have that you think will make you special or better. We are creating this specialness in our heads.
I have been on a spiritual journey for the past few years looking for new ways of being. Trying to live authentically. Trying to be good to others. Trying to attach meaning to my life. And on this journey, I am learning to find my true voice and to see where I can help. While this is going on I am finding some inner peace with others and with the earth. Learning to let go.
Although this is partially a personal journey, it is also a journey we can share together. I want to support you and allow you to see how I am finding my way. Because what I am going through, you will eventually too (because we are the same) and there are lessons that I could learn from you as well. I will no longer do this inquisitive work by myself, on the sly, as I have. We are not separate. We are brothers and sisters and we are here to support one another. I see you and you see me.
We all have a chance to dissolve the separation. To melt away the lines that divide us by seeing one another. To quote Gabrielle Bernstein, "recognize the other person is you."
Thumbs at my heart,
Listen to this empowering song and know that I care deeply for you. Please share your thoughts below if your heart calls for it.

Hussey steers Australia home
Watch session-by-session highlights of every T20 and ODI on ecb.co.uk/video
David Hussey struck a composed half-century to guide Australia to a four-wicket win in the third one-day international in Sydney.
Set just 215 to win, victory seemed a certainty for Australia on a flat pitch at the SCG.
However, despite being without their first-choice attack of James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Graeme Swann and Tim Bresnan, England battled hard and reduced Australia to 100 for five to give themselves a sniff.
Their efforts proved to be in vain, though, as Hussey, well supported by Steven Smith and John Hastings, followed up Brad Haddin's fluent half-century with an unbeaten 89-ball 68.
Victory, achieved with four overs to spare, earned Australia a 3-0 lead in the seven-match series.
Earlier, the England batsmen manufactured their own downfall by losing wickets at regular intervals after Andrew Strauss won the toss.
During a sloppy batting performance, in which several players got themselves out, only Jonathan Trott emerged with any credit after hitting a typically assured 84 not out.
England's woes started in the first over when Matt Prior registered his second consecutive duck since returning to the side after a 12-month absence.
He fell in the first over when he was trapped leg before by a Brett Lee delivery that, unlike the preceding ones which swung away, nipped back slightly.
His loss hampered the tourists from the off, although Trott finally picked up their first boundary, after a 25-ball wait, with a fluent cover-drive off Lee, who finished with 3-27.
But, just when he and Strauss seemed to be settling, England lost another wicket through a poor run-out.
With the batsmen stopping and starting, both ended up at the non-striker's end, leaving an easy opportunity for the gleeful hosts. Strauss was the one to go.
England's problems deepened soon after as Ian Bell was caught and bowled via a leading edge by a diving Shane Watson to depart for 10.
That left pressure on Trott and Eoin Morgan to rebuild. Unlike the rest of his England career, Morgan looked noticeably out of nick during the start of his innings, although he did break the shackles with a down-the-ground four off Smith.
After Trott reached his half-century from 62 balls, Morgan lifted Hussey over extra-cover for another boundary.
He fell three balls later, though, middling a half-tracker to midwicket, where Michael Clarke to take a sensational diving catch.
England's strife worsened when Paul Collingwood was bowled after missing a straight one from Doherty, who then had Michael Yardy caught and bowled.
Trott and Luke Wright set about another rebuilding effort but, again, just as it seemed they seemed set to enjoy the fruits of their hard work, the latter nicked Hastings behind on 32.
Chris Woakes made 12 and kept Trott company before edging to Haddin off Lee as England continued to struggle for momentum.
Ajmal Shahzad fell soon after attempting an ill-advised drive over the top and it was perhaps fitting that the innings ended in the poor manner it did, with Chris Tremlett run out after failing to run his bat in.
Shahzad and Tremlett, on the back of an impressive performances in the second game at Hobart, started excellently once again with the ball.
Tremlett was rewarded for his efforts when, after Watson had narrowly inside-edged one past the stumps, he bowled him with an excellent nip-backer.
Shaun Marsh, promoted to number three after making a brilliant century in the last game, started positively, flicking Shahzad over square-leg for four, but the Yorkshire seamer got his revenge, though, trapping him leg before from round the wicket.
Undeterred, Haddin was in no mood to hang around, regularly giving himself room to flay the ball over the off side.
But wickets continued to tumble at the other end with Woakes enjoying success in his first over on his ODI debut. Skipper Clarke was the man to go, clipping to midwicket, where Yardy took a juggling catch.
Haddin almost followed moments later on 37, but Tremlett spilled a low chance at mid-off off Wright.
It did not prove too costly as, after Collingwood trapped Cameron White lbw for seven, Haddin inexplicably hit the same bowler straight to Woakes long-on.
Smith illustrated his intent by striking Collingwood for six over square-leg before carving Shahzad through point, which seemed to spark a momentum shift.
But, again, just as one side seemed to be looking comfortable, things changed with Smith, on 26, skying a pull off Tremlett to Yardy, running in from mid-off.
Hussey remained the mainstay for Australia while Hastings hung around, carting a Yardy full toss over midwicket for six before keeping his cool to finish the job.

Arlene Martel passes away, aged 78
Star Trek, Twilight Zone and Battlestar Galactica actress Arlene Martel has sadly passed away.
Sad news today. Arlene Martel, a recognisable face to Star Trek, The Twilight Zone and Battlestar Galactica fans, has passed away at the age of 78.
The actress died from heart attack complications at a health centre on Tuesday, reports have said.
Martel was best known for playing a prospective bride to Leonard Nimoy's Spock in the Star Trek episode Amok Time, an episode well-remembered for giving fans a rare glimpse at Vulcan and featuring a full-on fight between Kirk and Spock.
Fondly remembering his would-be on-screen wife's acting skills, Leonard Nimoy took to Twitter: "Saying goodbye to T'Pring, Arlene Martel. A lovely talent," he wrote.
Previously speaking of her time on the show, Martel said that "I was just so happy to be working and playing a part that was so challenging," before adding that "I had no idea it would continue to this day. Fans purchase my Star Trek photos at conventions, where I sign autographs. I had no idea that T'Pring would be so memorable to people."
As well as the sci-fi shows mentioned, Martel leaves a wide-ranging filmography featuring Columbo, The Man From U.N.C.L.E., The Untouchables and, most recently, A Walk To Remember. Our thoughts go out to those close to her.

"...Speak ill of others and it will surely come back to you. The mountain does not speak ill of the river because it is lowly, nor does the river laugh at the moutain because it cannot move around"
I read this in Tohei Sensei's "Aikido: Coordination of mind and body for self-defence", it's an unattributed quotation, so maybe it is a proverb, or maybe it was said by Tohei Sensei, or O Sensei, I don't know... but I like to apply it when I can. Of course, often I will have negative opinions of people or things, and sometimes I voice those opinions; I'm only human. I do try to voice them as respectfully as I can, however. Particularly valuable as I guide for dealing with conflicts I find "Aikido in Everyday Life" (Dobson/Miller), which talks about how to deal with arguments and other such things as if they were attacks in Aikido; be aware of them, avoid them before they happen if such is possible, if not harmonize with them, let them pass you by; not in the bury-your-head-in-the-sand way, but in a way that resolves the conflict without damage to either party. I don't explain it very well, and strongly recommend that people read the book if they have not already.
But hey, I'm no saint. But I do try.
It's a kind of magic

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan must not create a leadership vacuum at the Bank of Japan when its governor's term ends in April, the head of the main opposition party said, suggesting the party would not delay the appointment as it did five years ago as a political tactic. But Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) leader Banri Kaieda also told Reuters on Wednesday that the next Bank of Japan (BOJ) governor should not be a mere "yes man" to the government. ...

Cloud Storage and backup services are becoming more prevalent and powerful than ever.
It's time for entrepreneurs and small business owners to take advantage of these tools to help their businesses grow and run smoother.
Fortunately for small business owners, there are plenty of Cloud Storage and Backup Services out there that will suit needs ranging from those of individual consumers to those of large enterprises.
If you are new to cloud storage, you must be wondering what is cloud service?
Cloud storage is a method where you sync your personal computing device with an online storage server and upload your data on that particular server. The upload can be done manually or automatically and runs at the background without interfering with your normal functioning of your personal computer. You have the ability to choose what to upload and when to upload.
Here are some advantages of cloud computing:
You can access your files from anywhere using an internet connection.
You can backup your files online so that even if one of your devices crash, your files aren't lost.
You can share them with anybody you want with great ease.
Edit a file in one device and the file automatically gets updated in all other devices.
The number of entrepreneurs who are using these services has doubled over the past five years. That being the case, Here is a list of some of the cloud storage and backup services – they're worth exploring:
Google Drive – Google Drive is already a very popular service. It's easy to use if you already have a Google account — 100GB costs a mere $5 a month (and Google even bumps up your Gmail storage to 25GB as a bonus).
Box – Box Business and Box Enterprise put an end to the FTP productivity drain while enhancing your professional image. Fast, reliable and easy to use, Box lets users easily upload content, organise it into folders, share links to files and manage file and folder permissions. The total effect: Box customers are more productive than ever before. That's what Box is all about.

CrashPlan PRO uses 448-bit Blowfish encryption, one of the most robust encryption methods available. Your files are encrypted before they leave your computer and then transferred to our servers using 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) protocol.
Dropbox – Dropbox is one of the more popular cloud-based syncing and storage tools, and offers users a convenient way to transfer files from one system to another, or share files with colleagues.
Amazon Glacier – a niche storage service designed to offer durable and low-cost storage solely to meet data archival and backup needs.
SugarSync – Remote access is a critical feature for SugarSync's end-users, giving them anytime, anywhere access to their documents, photos, videos, music and more from any computer or mobile device.

Valentine Paper catches fire
Blaze contained with no injuries.
Published: Friday, June 20, 2014 at 9:10 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 20, 2014 at 9:10 p.m.
A Lockport building that once housed Valentine Paper Co. caught fire Friday afternoon.
Shortly before 6 p.m., Armand Autin, chief of the Lockport Volunteer Fire Department, said the fire was contained and nobody was injured.
The fire began when a second-story office of the weathered yellow warehouse off La. 308 caught fire as a demolition crew was dismantling components of the building. The exact cause was not known.
The mill closed in 2007 after about half a century in business. When it closed, local officials estimated it contributed some $15 million annually to the local economy.
Worsening salt water encroachment up Bayou Lafourche, which provided the fresh water the mill needed to operate, was a factor in the mill closing.
During its run, the company's customers have included firms such as McDonald's restaurants, Starbucks and Godiva Chocolate.
Valentine Paper was started in 1954 by sugar farmers who sought to profit by creating paper with bagasse, the primary byproduct of cane processing.
Their experiment to convert bagasse into paper proved a failure. But the mill, which took its namesake from the Valentine Plantation in Larose, went on to produce paper through conventional means.

Heart Disease Health Center
Heart Disease and Stroke in Women: Reducing Your Risk - Topic Overview
Heart disease and stroke are leading causes of death for women throughout the world. More women die from heart disease than from cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Alzheimer's, and accidents combined. More women than men die from strokes every year.
But women of all ages can help reduce their risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.
What causes heart disease and stroke?
A process called hardening of the arteries, or atherosclerosis , can cause heart disease, a heart attack, or a stroke.
Atherosclerosis causes fatty deposits called plaque (say "plak") to build up inside blood vessels called arteries. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood throughout your body. The plaque can limit blood flow in the arteries.
Heart disease. When plaque builds up in the coronary arteries, it is called heart disease or coronary artery disease. The heart doesn't get the blood that it needs to work well. Over time, this can weaken or damage the heart. If the blood flow is blocked, it can cause a heart attack.
Stroke. Plaque can also build up in the neck arteries that go to the brain. Plaque in these arteries, called carotid arteries, can limit blood flow to the brain. If the blood flow is blocked, it can cause an ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). Another type of stroke is called a hemorrhagic (say "heh-muh-RAW-jick") stroke. This type of stroke happens when an artery in the brain leaks or bursts. This causes bleeding inside the brain or near the surface of the brain.
Women are unique. Heart disease seems to happen slightly differently in women compared to how it happens in men. For example, plaque might build up differently in a woman's arteries so that a doctor cannot see a blockage during a cardiac catheterization test. Researchers are trying to understand these differences to help find the best ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat women who have heart disease.
What increases a woman's risk?
Most of the risk factors for heart disease and stroke are the same for women and men. These include smoking, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, lack of exercise, and family history.

Thorn-Clarke Wines was established by David and Cheryl Clarke in the early 1980's.
They planted vines in the Barossa at their Kabininge site on the Barossa Valley floor near Tanunda in 1987, a site which now produces outstanding quality grapes which go into making up some of the company's finest red wines.
For Cheryl it was the continuation of a life involved in grape growing since her family, the Thorn's, have been growing grapes since the 1870's on their family estate near Angaston.
David, Cheryl and their children Sam and Nicole planted three more vineyard sites in the Barossa and Eden Valley during the 1990's.
Chief Executive Officer of Thorn-Clarke Wines, Sam Clarke (pictured), said that in July 2002, the Thorn-Clarke brand was launched in North America and Australia.
"Our wines are now sold in over 25 countries under the brands Mount Crawford, Terra Barossa, Sandpiper, Shotfire and William Randell," Mr Clarke said.
In total Thorn-Clarke have around 240 hectares of vines, all in the Barossa Valley. Kabininge, on the Valley floor near Tanunda, St Kitts at the northern end of the Barossa, plus two in Eden Valley (the higher altitude sub region of the Barossa) - Milton Park near Angaston and Mount Crawford at the southern end of Eden Valley.
"The Mount Crawford site is especially cool and is where all of the company's whites are grown. The other vineyard sites are almost entirely for red wine production," Mr Clarke added.
"Our vines are all in very diverse locations which provide some excellent blending options for our winemaker Derek Fitzgerald.
"We took a methodical approach to ensuring the right varieties were grown in the right terroir (i.e. microclimate) and the ability to get this right is one of the key reasons why the vineyards produce such outstanding grapes."
The company's winery and cellar door are located near Angaston at the Milton Park vineyard. The cellar door has a superb view over the vineyard and the beautiful Eden Valley countryside.
The wines are also sold throughout the retail sector and at many restaurants.
Mr Clarke said that the awards and accolades the winery has received are one of the key reasons the company has grown so quickly.
"The world renowned American wine writer Robert Parker discovered the wines in 2003 and proclaimed them 'the greatest red wine value in the marketplace' which is the world," he said.
"Our greatest individual award in Australia was when the 2004 Shotfire Quartage won the top wine at the 2005 Adelaide Wine Show.
"However, our wines have won numerous gold medals at Australian wine shows and several trophies."
Other recognition has included that from Wine Spectator, the San Francisco based wine publication which is one of the most influential wine publications in the world, who rated the wines in its Top 100 wines in the world three times in the last ten years.
James Halliday has rated Thorn-Clarke a 5 star winery for 4 consecutive years and rated many of the wines well above 90 points.
Despite the ongoing success of many South Australian wines, Mr Clarke said the current environment for winemakers remains challenging.
"A tough vintage and tough market conditions are making life challenging that's for sure," he said.
"However, we continue to sell excellent volumes of wine around the world. Sales in the USA are down as South American wines grow their market share and the exchange rate is an inhibitor to remaining competitive.
"Most other markets are growing, especially Australia, China and Canada. The exchange rate against most currencies is squeezing margins though, however not as badly as in the USA.
"I think family owned wineries with established paths to market and who are prepared to take a long term view will come out of this stronger."
Despite the growing competition from international wine companies, the demand for Australian produce still remains.
"Australia is still and will remain a massive category in the USA and the general sentiment remains positive, with many in the trade saying Aussie wines are as good as ever, if not better," Mr Clarke said.
"We have found a trend away from the big jammy Barossa red style to more elegant refined wines.
"Our wines have always had a degree of elegance and we continue to make use of the cooler climate Eden Valley fruit to ensure that style remains."

Don't let it get away!
Keep track of the stocks that matter to you.
Help yourself with the Fool's FREE and easy new watchlist service today.
We're in the midst of earnings season, and that means that, finally, financial results are driving stocks instead of daily reactions to the Federal Reserve or the economic news of the day. So far, the numbers have been strong, and stocks have been moving higher. Seventy-five percent of S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC ) companies that have reported have beaten expectations, and the index hit a new intra-day high on Thursday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI ) , on the other hand, isn't as broad, and weak results from a few companies have hurt the index since earnings seasons started, which I'll get to in a minute.
The outperformers in Q2
The banking industry has been the biggest winner in this year's earnings season. JPMorgan said net income rose 33%, to $6.5 billion, Morgan Stanley's net income jumped 66%, to $980 million, and Bank of America's net income was up 63%, to $4.0 billion. The banking industry has benefited from strong trading revenue, lots of investment banking activity, and lower defaults on mortgages, because home prices are rising. For the time being it appears that big banks are back to their profit-making ways, although we've seen that change at the drop of a hat before.
UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH ) was the other big outperformer on the Dow after reporting a 12% rise in revenue during the second quarter. A jump in patients from 76.6 million a year ago, to 89.2 million this year, drove the results, and the entire health-insurance industry followed UnitedHealth higher on Thursday. There's been a lot of worry about the affects Obamacare will have on insurers, but having more people under coverage will be good for these companies, and they don't look to be suffering financially at this point.
The slow death of the PC
While financials and insurers have had a good earnings season, the PC has been the one black eye on earnings season. Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT ) stock dropped 12% on Friday after reporting earnings that fell short of expectations, due largely to slowing PC sales. Intel's (NASDAQ: INTC ) stock didn't have the same drop, but revenue was down 5% from a year ago, and net income fell 29%, to $2.0 billion.
This is where long-term investors and traders often collide during earnings season. Microsoft's numbers were below Wall Street's expectations, which are really nothing more than guesses, but if we put them into some context, they didn't look all that bad. We know PC sales are down and that will be a drag on results, but every single business unit reported an increase in revenue both for the second quarter, and for fiscal 2013. Microsoft's sexy businesses may be declining, but the company is nowhere near being the outcast Wall Street made it this week.
Intel's results also need some context before we call the company a disappointment long term. Falling PC sales have hurt sales, but it appears we're near a bottom, and we may have seen an inflection point for Intel. Sales were up 2% from last quarter and the company projected revenue of $13.5 billion, plus or minus $500 million, which, even at the low end, would be a 2% increase quarter over quarter.
Both Microsoft and Intel have a long way to go to gain significant mobile market share, but both companies are still dominant in PCs, and the server business is going strong. The growth in these markets will drive the future, and with the tech world molded by just a handful of companies, each product win will be huge for the bottom line.

Public Defender
You will never be at a loss for excitement. Public defenders spend most of their days in the courtroom, not reading contracts and reviewing paperwork (real estate lawyers do that sort of thing). Albeit exciting, the job can wear down one's moral fiber the way a cheese grater takes down a block of Parmesan. Sticking up for drug dealers, small time thieves, wife beaters, and vandals can test your nerves.
Your saving grace will be the occasional defendant who has been framed…like Roger Rabbit. You will get to expose the wrongdoing, reveal that the actual criminal is the judge himself, and win over the hearts and minds of the entire town. To do that, of course, you will be working 100 hours a week with little help. So yeah, it's stressful.

Ronnie Dunn Releases "Peace, Love and Country Music"
Leave it to Ronnie Dunn to do something a little surprising. The singer has released his second solo album, Peace Love and Country Music, today (April 8) through his own Little Will-E Records.
The 14-track collection was produced by Ronnie with Jeff Balding and includes the single "Kiss You There." Physical copies will be available exclusively through lifestyle retailer Country Outfitter, and digital versions will be available through all digital music outlets.
"I really wanted fans to have a say in which songs I put on this album," said Dunn in a release. "I put a few songs out on social media to see what people liked, or maybe what they didn't respond to, and we built the album from there. Partnering with Country Outfitter just makes sense because they represent all aspects of the country lifestyle, and music is a huge part of that."

A season he and his teammates expected would bring big things unraveled a bit further.
But today, as the 6-foot-11 senior center from Newark prepares to face Washington in his final regular-season home game, Hardin promises one thing: "Man, I can't cry."
Hardin and Eric Vierneisel will take what could be their final bows in front of the home fans today unless the Golden Bears earn a home assignment in the NIT or the new College Basketball Invitational.
Of course, the Bears' goal all season has been the NCAA tournament, which seems increasingly out of reach. Cal (15-11, 6-9 in Pac-10) has dropped its past two games and four of five.
Asked this week if he's satisfied with things, Hardin said, "Satisfied, no. I'm not satisified 'til I have that perfect record. But I feel like we've worked hard. It's been good here."
Hardin toyed with the NBA draft after his junior season but returned and was a force under the glass early. He averaged 14 rebounds over Cal's first five games but hasn't approached maintaining that pace.
He's securing just 5.6 rebounds per game in Pac-10 play, and his 10-board effort Thursday was part of his first double-digit performance since the conference opener two months ago.
"I've had ups, and I've had downs," Hardin allowed.
Injured through last season's Pac-10 schedule, Hardin's rebounding numbers actually are lower in conference play than they were his sophomore campaign of 2005-06, when he averaged 6.7.
"There have been some times where he has lost that aggressiveness," Cal coach Ben Braun said. "He has got to get back to where he's being aggressive, and not worry about numbers or results."
Hardin's efforts to stay out of foul trouble, which plagued him in the past year, seem at the root of his reduced productivity. He has fouled out of just two games this season but has blocked only nine shots in Pac-10 play.
PLANS B & C: Cal landing an at-large NCAA tournament bid might require something just short of an act of Congress. The daunting recipe that might be required: A win today, a road sweep of USC and UCLA next week, plus a victory at the Pac-10 tournament the week after.
"We're not out of any picture," Braun said Thursday night. "We're 6-9, and we're close. We've got to step back up and play this next game."
If it doesn't happen, the options no longer are limited to the 32-team NIT. The new College Basketball Invitational, a 16-team event, brings the total number of postseason spots to 113.
Rick Giles, president of the Gazelle Group, which created the CBI, told the Tacoma News Tribune his event wants teams that have shown they can beat good opponents.
"We're not really worried about bad losses. We're not really worried about computer formulas," Giles said. "We're looking for if you have the ability to play at a high level, because we want to have an exciting tournament. So, that will probably be the most weighted criteria that we apply."
Cal's resume includes wins over Washington State, USC and Arizona State, all teams still in the hunt for the NCAAs.

TOLEDO, Ohio – Sept. 30, 2009 – The Ohio Lake Erie Commission has announced the winners of the 2009 Ohio Lake Erie Awards, which annually recognizes an individual and an organization that have made outstanding contributions to enhance Ohio's Great Lake.
Fred Snyder of Fremont, Ohio, whose career and life have been dedicated to the betterment of Lake Erie through educational programs, research and teaching, received this year's Lake Erie Award. Snyder, who recently retired from the Ohio Sea Grant Program, where he served as an extension specialist with OSU/Ohio Sea Grant College Program, was the first Ohio sea grant extension agent for the state. He has served as district sea grant extension specialist for western Lake Erie since 1978 and has been the program co-coordinator since 1998. Snyder grew up in the fishing tackle/bait business in West Liberty, Ohio. He conducted the first Ohio Charter Captain's Conference in 1981 and has helped it grow to become the largest in the nation. Snyder's marine advisory efforts have focused on fishing industry development, exotic species in the Great Lakes, water quality improvement, tourism and coastal business development.
Ducks Unlimited received the 2009 Lake Erie Award for its wetland conservation efforts in Ohio, which have protected more than 6,500 acres in the Lake Erie watershed since 1985. DU has restored more than 21,000 acres of wetlands statewide and has consistently provided leadership, science-based solutions, partnership-building and funding to implement on-the-ground wetland conservation throughout Ohio and the Lake Erie watershed. DU Director of Public Policy Gildo Tori and Manager of Conservation Programs Roy Kroll accepted the award on the organization's behalf.
Winners were announced at the Commission's annual meeting on Sept. 28 at the University of Toledo's Lake Erie Center.
The Ohio Lake Erie Commission was established for the purpose of preserving Lake Erie's natural resources, protecting the quality of its waters and ecosystem and promoting economic development in the region.

CPS board approves new $474M budget
Deficit erased by attrition
A Cincinnati school district has a new multi-million dollar budget.
Cincinnati Public Schools' Board of Education approved a $474 million budget at a meeting Monday night.
The 33,000-student district said its revenue and expenditures are balanced.
Superintendent Mary Ronan said the new budget advances academic goals without major cuts to student services.
"I believe this budget keeps the focus on learning, students and families," Ronan said.
The budget also avoids borrowing from future tax revenue, the CPS treasure said.
The board said it was able to erase a $52 million deficit by eliminating positions through attrition and reducing non-teaching positions and carryover more than $25 million.
The board also benefited from the sale of old or unused real estate, a statement said.
Ronan also said the projected five-year budget still forecasts challenges and future deficits.

Jordan Roberts Goes From Indies to Disney
When Jordan Roberts, the director, writer, creator and financier of "Frankie Go Boom," signed on to write the screenplay of "You're Not You," based on the novel of the same name, he was attempting to outrun his own bad luck.
He was struggling to get "Frankie Go Boom" distributed, having made a handshake deal for distribution and marketing with Variance Films when Universal Pictures came knocking. He had already secured a theatrical release for the film and poured a half a million of his own money into getting the film made and distributed.
"I came on strong and wrote a few films pretty quickly to try and get what I was feeling out of my system," Roberts told the Journal.
To write the screenplay for "You're Not You," which stars Hilary Swank, Josh Duhamel and Emmy Rossum, Roberts said he had to get into a zone "where I was as passionate about making this story as moving and funny as I was to finance 'Frankie.'"
The film revolves around a relationship between an older wealthy Texan woman and a "raunchy punk chick who ends up hanging out with her," said Jordan.
Roberts also took on a year and a half commitment with Walt Disney Animation Studios, working on their first movie inspired by a Marvel comic entitled "Big Hero 6."
Due out in 2014, the CGI film will be directed by Don Hall ("Winnie the Pooh") and focus on Hiro Hamada, a robotics prodigy, along with his robot companion BayMax. They join a team of superheroes in a high-tech place called San Fransokyo.
"Writing the superhero movie took a bit of a gear shift. It was raunchier than it should have been and it took me a while to get my G-rated voice," said Roberts.
Now, Roberts, who also wrote the narration for the 2005 film "March of the Penguins," which took in $127 million worldwide, is onto television. He co-created a dark serial comedy, which revolves around a case of mistaken identity, with actor Jonathan Emerson. He's currently pitching it to several networks, both network and cable.
As the DVD/Blu-Ray release of "Frankie Go Boom" (which kept its original title of "3, 2, 1…Frankie Go Boom" internationally) drops Tuesday, Roberts said he's finally able to let go of the project. And while he's "wary" of handshakes, Roberts says he already has five seasons worth of material for his television show — all he's got to do is find a buyer.

So happy and feel so lucky it happened so quickly for us I'm exactly 11 weeks today. I've been a member at SW since Feb 2013 and up until the day we found out I had lost 4 stone 11 lbs and to be honest I am absolutly petrified of gaining this, so this thread is going to be my kick up the bum to get me back into gear after gaining 6 lbs in 10 weeks! This is how I gained that weight; Week 4 - BFP Week 5 - Gained 3 lbs Week 6 - Gained 3 lbs Week 7 - STS Week 8 - Gained 1.5 Week 9 - Lost 2 lbs Week 10 - Gained 0.5 I weigh this evening for Week 11 and know I have another gain coming my way of possibly 4 lbs! I started pregnancy at 13 st 9 lbs and a healthy weight gain for me is estimated between 15 - 20 lbs. After today I will be continuing to swim 30 gentle lengths 3 times a week (used to do this before conceiving but stopped when we found out) also going to add half hour on my bike machine 3 times per week. Does this sound like a good start to getting back on the right tracks? I have had no sickness but have completely gone off salad/veg and just want carb loaded, stodgy meals! Sorry for my first post being a little bit of a rant - I'ts my first pregnancy and hormones are flying all around the place at the moment which I know you will understand :giggle: forcing myself to group tonight expecting this gain.

As a key objective of the FCA, the study will look at whether there is effective competition for add-on products, and if not, why not.
The FCA's new competition remit is one of the most significant changes in its objectives as a regulator. It means that the regulator will not wait for problems to materialise but look to promote competition. This follows work commenced by the Financial Services Authority last year where concern was expressed that consumers did not fully understand what these insurance products covered and whether they represented value for money.
To be clear on the focus of this market study, the FCA has published its theories of harm, which look at why consumers may be experiencing poor outcomes in relation to add-on products. This can happen for a number of reasons - such as the moment when consumers purchase add-ons - which could limit how far they explore alternatives or base a decision on price and quality.
For example if someone has just purchased a valuable item, they may feel the need to purchase cover immediately or base their decision on the price of the add-on compared to the price of the product just bought.
The FCA will also look at whether there are unnecessary barriers preventing new firms from entering a market or preventing smaller ones from expanding, both of which can limit competition.
Commenting on the study Martin Wheatley said:
"This is an important piece of work. This is the first study that we are undertaking specifically to examine the state of competition in a market.
"We've called for evidence and approached a number of firms that supply add-on products for information. Based on this early work we are publishing today our theories of harm that we are testing.
"We are focusing closely on testing whether poor outcomes in add-on sales could reflect particular consumer behavioural traits and firms' responses to them.
"In future these market studies will form the mainstay of how we gather evidence to identify competition problems, and to identify where the FCA can intervene to promote better outcomes for consumers."
The FCA is looking at GAP insurance, home emergency, gadget, travel and personal accident and accident cash plans as representative of the market.
Interested parties have until September 10th to submit further views and evidence.

Spectral Invariant Behavior of Zenith Radiance Around Cloud Edges Observed by ARM SWS

Marshak, A., NASA - Goddard Space Flight Center
Radiation Processes
Radiative Processes
Marshak A, Y Knyazikhin, JC Chiu, and WJ Wiscombe. 2009. "Spectral invariant behavior of zenith radiance around cloud edges observed by ARM SWS." Geophysical Research Letters, 36, L16802, doi:10.1029/2009GL039366.
Although clouds seem to have a distinct boundary, remote sensing measurements find it difficult to distinguish between cloudy and cloud-free air. The transition zone is neither precisely clear nor precisely cloudy. This problem has major climatic consequences, in particular on aerosol direct and indirect effect studies, which demand a precise separation of clear and cloudy zones.
ARM scientists studied the transition zone between cloudy and cloud-free areas using shortwave spectrometer (SWS) measurements. SWS looks straight up and every second measures downward solar radiation at 418 wavelengths between 350 and 2200 nm. Because of its high sampling resolution, the SWS provides a unique capability to study the transition zone and to address the important questions of what are the full-spectral radiative characteristics of the clear-cloud transition zone and what is the spectral signature of a weak evaporating cloud.
Analysis of high spectral and temporal resolution SWS measurements (see Figure 1 as an example) led to the surprising discovery of a wavelength-independent function that characterizes the transition zone between cloudy and cloud-free areas (Figure 2). The transition zone spectrum is determined fully by this function and radiances spectra of clear and cloudy sky areas. This finding is essential to both remote sensing and modeling communities. For example, this wavelength-independent function can serve as a good characteristic of pollution in a field with small cumulus clouds. In addition, if the transition zone between ice clouds and cloud-free area is longer and smoother than between water clouds and cloud-free area, the function may help determine the thermodynamic phase.

HAYWARD -- Hayward Unified trustee Annette Walker called out Mayor Michael Sweeney at Wednesday's school board meeting over his negative remarks about the district.
She prefaced her remarks by thanking the mayor and city for making education a key component of the city's general plan, which is being updated. She then turned her attention to the mayor's frequent criticism of the school district and its low test scores.
"I just want to say personally and directly to the mayor that collaboration, cooperation and unification is what we need rather than more negative perception of who we are as a community and schools," she said. "So the first place for us to begin is how we use the language in talking about and referencing our community and schools."
She went on to say that negative remarks are a direct reflection on the children.
"At the end of the day, it's about the students. They're listening to what we're saying as adults about our own schools." Walker said. "Let's keep that in mind, Mr. Mayor."

Inexpensive to buy, until you need to replace this. Purchased two 10" swivels and two 10" fixed casters 4 months ago to use for my portable chicken coop, which weighs maybe 250 lbs. I move the coop 50 yards about every 2 weeks. The 10" regular casters are holding us nicely. One 10" swivel caster has slowly bent until this morning when it snapped at the bearings, causing my coop (with 12 chickens inside) to fall on its side. Invest in better made equipment if you care about what you are moving.

best price for a replacement caster
By D J O
from Butler PA
I got two of these to replaces the worn out casters on my 12 year old Cyclone Rake classic tow behind lawn vacuum with its original Tecumseh enduro engine. as the originals the swivel forks were loking up the wheels not turning and digging up the lawn As i got these they were in stock and put them on the caster pads of the cyclone rake frame with the quick release pins andi was back in business in no time as it handled the weight of two full collector loads of leaves and grass clippings with ease. Its better than waiting for days to get casters from the manufactur plus priced less then what they offer. they are rated for 300lb capacity each so im assuming 600lbs for the weight of the cyclone rake when its full plus the weight of the engine and vacuum mulcher unit. as how this vacuum is set up it can be folded down and the casters can be removed for storage.As i would recommend this for other yard vacs as well like DR and others plus its a must to use these on a yard vacuum if you attach it to a zero turn mower or a standard lawn tractor or riding mower so the unit follows the same path as your mower.

I purchased two of these to replace two worn out ones that lasted two years before succumbing to rust and rot. One of the new ones collapsed on its first day of use under 1/6th of its rated capacity. The first ones, while cheap, provided adequate service.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
