Generally everyone loves flowers and butterflies because both are beautiful and pleasant. In search of food butterfly flies from flower to flower to collect the pollen and allows genetic diversity among flowers which causes reproduction.
Probably for this reason flower never denies to give its nectar to butterfly. Here is a collection of few amazing photographs of butterfly and flower which redefines the symbiotic relationship.

May 17, 2012 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — Roll out the red carpet and sound the trumpets in honor of Eldred and Monticello's remarkable track and field accomplishments. The Monticello boys clinched their third consecutive Division III title and the girls team claimed its first collective glory in 28 years. Both squads triumphed over Liberty to complete undefeated league seasons. The magnitude of the milestone made it one of the most compelling sagas in Monticello's storied athletic lore. Liberty evinced a noble effort, but being thrust into the weightier Division III put them in over their heads. Details of the individual exploits can be read in the story entitled "Montie Milestones" on www.sportsinsightsny.com [1].
Meanwhile the Eldred's boys and girls track teams made history again. Claiming their ninth consecutive Division V title, the girls were matched by the triumph of the boys, who won their eighth title in the past nine years. The win over Livingston Manor closed out another perfect season and marked the swan song on the Eldred track for a group of leading seniors, dubbed as "The Magnificent Seven" by Eldred volunteer assistant track coach Bill Kroohs. Kroohs provided the impressive résumé of the septet's accomplishments, which covers the course of the past five years and encompasses cross country, indoor and spring track. Numbers in parenthesis indicate the grade of milestone(s).

Greenbrier Community College Center of BSC Details Two Continuing Education "Certificate of Completion" Programs
The Greenbrier Community College Center of Bluefield State College will include two important continuing education "certificate of completion" programs in its Fall 1997 Semester schedule of classes. The Medical Office Assistant program prepares students to perform general purpose office work in such health care settings as physicians' offices, clinic/group practice offices, nursing care/home health practice offices, and acute care hospital offices. Emphasis is placed on fundamental knowledge and skills which distinguish the medical office from other offices. Courses in the Medical Office Assisting continuing education program will transfer toward the secretarial science degree at GCCC and to Bluefield State College's associate degree in Medical Assisting. Fall 1997 Semester courses include "Introduction to Medical Assisting," "Medical Terminology & Basic Anatomy," and several secretarial and general education classes required for the "certificate of completion." Also implemented for the first time in the Fall 1997 Semester is a one-year certificate program, Technical Office Procedures and Skills (TOPS). The program prepares students for entry-level positions within an office. The curriculum provides students with knowledge and training for immediate success in current office environments. It also serves as a basis of continuing education for advance and preparation for new technology in the business support and office administration fields. Scheduled at GCCC in the Fall 1997 Semester are courses including "Keyboarding and Document Processing I," "Secretarial Accounting," a database and spreadsheet class, and numerous general education and business courses. Each of these courses transfers to the associate degree program in secretarial science, and many of the courses transfer to other specialized continuing education programs. David Perkins, Director of the Greenbrier Community College Center of Bluefield State College, characterized these programs as excellent opportunities to gain entry-level skills, and in the case of medical office assisting, more advanced knowledge in areas of office work where employees are needed. "GCCC is pleased to be able to respond to the needs of employers and job-seekers with these programs," he noted. Registration at the GCCC of BSC will be conducted August 14-15. Classes begin August 18. Prospective students may contact the GCCC Student Services Office (645-3303) for additional information.

Hot Mama Anna Paquin Shows Off Her Post-Baby Figure At L.A. Event
Anna Paquin looked incredible as she showed off her post-baby body at a Tom Ford cocktail event earlier this week. She attended the party in Los Angeles, which supported Project Angel Food, with her husband Stephen Moyer.
The actress beamed in a tight black dress with side cut outs, which accentuated her slim figure. She slicked back her blonde locks to complete the look.
Paquin and Moyer welcomed their twin boy and girl in September but haven't released any details about their children. The couple, who both star in the HBO series "True Blood," wed in August 2010.
A premiere date for the sixth season of their vampire show has not yet been announced.

Bill Bowers, vice president of production equipment, said that Valerus can perform both field services and shop services to a variety of midstream processing equipment, including natural gas compressors, separators, heater treaters, condensate stabilizers and more.
The company has the ability to paint, work on electronics, motor components and more for each piece of equipment.
The company has a rental fleet of equipment that it maintains but will also work on other companies' equipment.
Bowers said employees there also design and sell or design and run compression equipment.
The needs of each client are different.
"Cash sales are for someone who is sure of their plans," he said.
The rental option is appealing for people who are still developing a plan or might not be operating in the area long term.
Much of the equipment sold by Valerus is built on-site at the Three Rivers facility in the warehouses.
Bower said, "It is easier to build the equipment in a controlled environment."
The equipment is also all built on skids which makes it cost effective to move anywhere at any time.
With such a wide variety of services to a busy market, the company is in need of more employees.
The Three Rivers office currently has more than 20 open positions.
"Valerus is looking for field service technicians, from entry level to strong experience," a press release from the company said. "For example, those with diesel mechanic experience can receive about a week's worth of training and be ready to begin work."
Bowers said that military experience is a plus but not required. The company is willing to train the right person.
Some entry level positions also are open.
Those interested in learning more about the open positions or applying can visit the company's website at www.valerus-co.com/careers.
Valerus has been in business since 2002 and has 35 offices around the world with hundreds of employees. The Three Rivers office that opened in February 2012 has 81 employees in it alone.
Bowers said Valerus has a great safety record and has maintained a total recordable incidence rate (a measure of the rate of recordable workplace injuries, normalized per 100 workers per year) of around .5, which is less than one-third of the industry average, for the last two years.
Bowers said that workplace safety is part of the company's culture and it should make it more attractive to job seekers.

The Big "W" Still Eludes Eaton
I am still recovering from the stomach ache that I was left with after last night's game. Yuck. First off, Adam Eaton was pitching. That alone is enough to make you want to hide under the covers and down a bottle of Tums. Then, this offensive for the Phillies which has exploded in the last 2 games decided to take a vacation until the 9th inning, which turned out to be too little too late. I feel hung over and I didn't even have a drink. That is SO not fair!
I guess my Marlins voodoo doll worked though…they FINALLY lost a game! However, I may have hexed the entire NL East…we all lost last night EXCEPT for the Nationals! Go figure… But to make up for it, Billy Wagner did blow his second save of the season for the Mets, which does make me all warm and fuzzy inside :o) It has been requested that I make a Mets voodoo doll as well, so I will be working on that this weekend. The wheels are turning…hmmmm…can you smell the smoke? So, I'll keep you posted…
As for Mr. Eaton last night, I do feel a bit sorry for him. He actually pitched rather well and was just let down by the rest of the team, who could not put anything together against Brandon Backe. They just kept swinging at pitches in the dirt! It was like a golf outing…very strange. They had that huge rally right at the end against Valverde, whose face Feliz nearly smashed in with a line drive. But even with this guy pitching with a partial concussion, they still could not score enough runs to even tie the game up. And it was especially disappointing to see Victorino and Howard go down so easily in that situation when both have seemed to be really hitting much better of late and everyone was really expecting them to be able to come through there. Howard at least could have taken a pitch.
Maybe someday Adam will get a win… For now, he has at least earned another shot at it. Here's hoping the offensive will show up for him the next time. Go Phillies!
2 Comments
I really feel sorry for Adam. He seems to be this season's version of Randy Lerch, i.e., he pitches good, fro the most part, but the offense decides to take a leave of absense. Oh, and that's a private term I use for whomever the Phillies offense decides not to help one of their pitchers during the season.
He is like Randy Lerch! Nothing seems to go right for him. I really think it is time to try something new though. Maybe put Eaton as mid inning guy? I wish I had an answer!

Asustek Computer and Intel Corp. on Wednesday launched a new web-site that will help the two companies to determine actual wishes and needs of consumers. The companies promise that based on the input by end-users they will be able to develop and build mobile personal computers (PCs) and components that are best tailored for needs and preferences of the end-user.
"Intel believes the spark for innovation can come from anywhere. That's why Intel is working with Asus to tap into the creative energy of consumers as they share ideas on designing their ideal PC. Intel is committed to encouraging conversations with consumers and giving people a voice in the design of technology they use every day," said Mike Hoefflinger, general manager of Intel's partner marketing group.
The two companies said that the plan for WePC.com web-site is to enable the two companies to deliver to market what could be the world's first community-designed PCs. Each visitor of the web-site is able to let Asus and Intel know his or her preferred features of PC, balance basic specifications, determine necessary ports and accessories as well as visualize the system.
The community will be divided into three conversation groups, addressing three of the most popular consumer PC categories: netbooks, notebooks and gaming notebooks. Intel and Asus hope to bring to market a consumer-inspired product that simplifies and enhances computing needs with Intel and Asus technology in each category. The PCs will be powered by Intel Atom, Intel Centrino 2 and Intel Centrino 2 Extreme platforms.
Prizes will be rewarded to select participants for their creative role in this project. Details on prizes will be announced at a later date.
"Asus and Intel have created WePC.com in an effort to bridge innovation and technology with consumers' wishes. ASUS strives to provide the best user experience with our products. By empowering WePC.com users to play a role in the design process, we expect to deliver cutting-edge community-designed products that address a consumer vision of the dream PC," said Lillian Lin, director of Asustek's marketing planning division.

Ready for the starting line at a road race, the Brooks T7 Racer is a shoe that enjoys going fast. It features minimal cushioning and a firm ride.
Be fluid, be quick in the Brooks T7 Racer. This super flexible, lightweight racing shoe forms to the runner's foot for a fast fit and feel. Built for the serious and efficient neutral runner, the T7 Racer provides just enough cushioning for 5ks up to fast half marathons and the silky smooth ride is exceptional for midfoot and forefoot striking.
Sizing Note: Men's sizes only. Fits small. Men should order 1/2 size larger than standard running shoe size. Women should order 1 size smaller than standard running shoe size.
Model Number:
Stack Height: Heel (23mm), Forefoot (12mm)
Available Widths: D=Medium
How It Fits (based on width D)
The T7 Racer is a moderate feature, minimum neutral shoe designed for racing.
Comments: Great shoe! I got a great price and a free running hat!
From: Jed, Ohio, USA
Comments: Since the T5, things have gone downhill. The T7 simply does not give you a feel for the road which the T5 had. Please bring the T5 back.
From: Johnny, Medina, OH, USA
Comments: I was excited to try this shoe. Having raced and trained in Asics Gel Racer, Trainer and Saucony A3 and A4. I wanted to find a little more cushion than the A4 for longer days but with the same light platform and supple shoe. So I tried the Brooks T7, much to my chagrin. This has been the worst fitting shoe my feet has ever had the non-pleasure of stepping into. Right off the bat, the hot spots on top of the outer toes and the inner arch behind the big toes have left my feet scarred and blistered. You can feel every stitch in this shoe. I think to keep the weight down they skipped out on a sockliner, that simple fix would have made me a convert. Sorry Brooks but I gave them a valiant effort. Had to ditch and go back to Saucony and Asics.
From: Rahman, Long Beach, CA, USA
Comments: Get your feet ready for a nice swim. As someone who's been using these since the original Hyperion Racer I had a feeling something wasn't right when I opened the box. The T7 no longer looked like the narrow slipper fitting shoe as it's predecessors but rather looked like I was staring at a pair of boats. After several runs of different distances including a 13 miler, yes I do all distance with the T series including marathons, I need to start looking for another shoe for the first time in 10 years, thousands of miles and many races from 1600m and up. The T series to me had become an extension of my feet, that's how great this shoe was. Problem spots
Shoe is larger in size and no longer fits small, like previous versions. Shoe fits true to size. Foot feels like it's swimming inside.Asymmetrical lacing system eliminates a pair of eyelets which prevents me from a tighter fit. Just can't get it to fit properly whether I lace it super tight or just a bit tight.Hot spots on top of my foot and overall poor ventilation. My socks were nearly completely soaked after a 13 miler on a dry warm day. Will most likely not be able to do marathons with this anymore.
On the longer runs I blisters were starting on the insides of both feet just below my toes, most likely due to my foot moving around inside. Ever since the T5 the shoe has been getting larger, especially the toebox area. Brooks would do very well by bringing the T3 Racer, without the looped eyelets, splash a new colour and put it back up for
sale. This series peaked with the T5. Are you listening Brooks.
On the positive side, the shoe has gotten a bit lighter and the insole is more cushioned. It also hasn't lost the fast feel and smooth cushioned transition you don't get with other flats. Fit is crucial with the T7. I'll try one 1/2 size down and will report back.
From: Gearge K., Montreal, QC, Canada
Comments: So after wearing them sparingly enough to get used to a hot spot, I think they're pretty great shoes. I think the fit is less sloppy than the T6, as the heel cup seems to have a more natural snugness to it. The midfoot seems to have a better fit, too, because the the tongue doesn't move around much under the laces. The lacing reminds me of the Nike Free 5.0 V4, which I thought was just about the most comfortable shoe ever. The T7s double well for training and racing, as they are quite light, but with enough of a heel that your calves and Achilles can survive daily running in them. The T-series continues to be the best all-around shoes I've worn. My one complaint now is that the mesh upper seems to hold moisture more than previous models and the white mesh shows dirt quickly.
From: Joe, Lexington Park, MD, USA
Comments: In love with the Brooks T series. Had a mess of the T3's a bunch of T 4's and piles of T 5's. The 6's rubbed on the heal and caused problems so after waiting out, what seemed to be eternity,the T7's hit. I am training and racing in them. I had an awesome 25k and i have the second pair tucked away. I am a minimalist and these are perfect. Don't let the lacing fool you. At first i thought, crap! But i actually opened up the laces, laced them on my foot to comfort and ran. Haven't had any discomfort with this shoe!
From: Jilan, Allendale, Michigan, USA
Comments: Loved the T5, wasn't crazy about the T6 (inferior upper), and after trying the T7 will be searching for another training/racing shoe. T7 upper and lacing style simply don't make for a good fit. And the heel position is higher than prior models. The best thing this shoe had going for it was the sole design - real performance with some cushioning. Leave it to idiot, non-runner designers to take a great shoe and flush it down the toilet.
From: Doug, Traverse City, MI, USA
Comments: I will review this shoe without complaining about the sizing:: I will start off by saying that I am 5'9'' 145lbs and this is my first pair of Brooks. I needed a pair of racers for half and full marathons and still wanted something lightweight, thats why the T7 caught my eye with its lightness, low profile and flexibility. After the initial break in period the shoes performed flawlessly, its so lightweight and has great cushioning that I wouldn't say is squishy but responsive and bouncy, as a mid foot runner I found them to be fast in transition of push off allowing a quick turnover with no heavy plastic in the midsole. The upper fits very well and follows the shape of the foot for a comfortably snug fit. Having a hydroflow unit in the heel provides good cushioning on long distances and hilly courses. Overall this shoe has met all the needs of a lightweight marathon racer. Would I recommend this shoe:YES.
From: Mark, LA, USA
Comments: I loved the T6. I have multiple pairs with hundreds of miles. I like a lot about the T7, but the new upper and stitching causes hot spots on the top of my toes/metatarsals. I won't be able to wear them.
From: Joe, Lexington Park, MD, USA
Comments: I normally wear a women's 7.5 in Brooks Adrenaline and ordered these in a men's 6.0. The size is perfect. Incredibly lightweight, comfortable shoe for an efficient runner. Have worn for speed training and in a half marathon race so far without any problems. No need for socks. Looking forward to more races in these shoes!
From: Hillary, Boston, MA, USA
Comments: Good shoes for 5K up to Marathon. Runs a full size small though. I normally wear a 9.5 but I know the T Series usually runs small so I ordered up to a 10. The size is fine up to about 6 miles then I assume my foot expands and my toes are pinched in the toe box. Oh well, I'll wear them in 5Ks and order a 10.5 for longer runs.
From: Joshua, Troy, AL, USA

TO: State Licensed Administrators
FROM: Dana B. Welborn, Board Administrator
DATE: January 15, 2003
RE: Interpretive Guidelines for Regulation 93-65(B)
On January 7, 2003, the Board updated and clarified its interpretation of normal work hours for administrators. The guidelines were developed for immediate implementation and enforcement of the regulation. Please read the guidelines below and make any necessary adaptations to your current work schedule and availability.
Regulation 93-65 states:
93-65. Operating a Facility Without a License.
A. No nursing home or community residential care facility within the State may operate except under the supervision of a licensed administrator.
B. It is unlawful and constitutes a misdemeanor for any person to act or serve in the capacity of a nursing home administrator or a community residential care facility administrator, unless he is the holder of a license issued in accordance with the provisions of these regulations. The following are the instructions as to how facilities are grouped to determine when a second administrator is required to operate a Community Residential Care Facility.
(1) For combinations of Community Residential Care Facilities and/or other licensed facilities, having the same licensee, on one property, regardless of the number of beds, one full-time licensed administrator must be on site or available during normal business hours.
(2) For one Community Residential Care Facility with more than ten beds on one property, there must be a full-time licensed administrator during normal business hours.
(3) For one Community Residential Care Facility with ten beds or less on one property, there must be an administrator who is on site a minimum of twenty hours per week with time spent in the facility during normal business hours, equitably distributed daily.
(4) When a combination situation exists that does not comply with item (1) above, a second facility must be ten or fewer beds and be within the same five number zip code or no further than a twenty-mile radius of the combination site.
The interpretive guidelines for R93-65(B) are:
The Board interprets the phrase "full-time" to mean no less than 37.5 hours per week.
The Board interprets the phrase "available" to mean accessible directly or by electronic means and able to respond immediately. An administrator is not "available" during time that he or she is providing services to another employer or business.
The Board interprets the phrase "normal business hours" to mean the hours between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Specifically for the Community Residential Care Facility Administrator of a facility with 10 beds or less, the minimum of twenty hours a week must be equitably distributed daily. In order to be "equitably distributed," four hours may be scheduled each day, Monday through Friday. In the alternative, up to 5 of the hours can be accumulated on Saturday and Sunday and, if hours are accumulated on weekends, the hours worked Monday through Friday must be distributed over portions of at least three days.
The changes are EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY.
If you or your organization has questions about the interpretive guidelines, feel free to contact me at 896-4544 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Written notice is being sent to the Division of Health Licensing at DHEC this week.

We you to join us in Sweden to sample our food and drinks and to go on a food adventure. Try Swedish!
It surely hasn't escaped you that Swedish food and food experiences have been racking up accolades and column inches in international food and travel magazines and on foodie blogs. The reason is quite simple – a few years ago Sweden decided that it wanted to become a new culinary nation – by improving the quality of Swedish food and food travel experiences across the board. And by telling the world about it.
Try Swedish is an open invitation to taste and explore the world of our food culture. It is all about good food and world-class food experiences - the combination of Sweden's nature, flavours and some of the purest raw ingredients in the world. It's about creative chefs and a modern, environmentally aware approach to leadership in restaurants and food-related businesses that take responsibility for the products being prepared and served.
And it's about the much-admired Swedish lifestyle; many Swedes forage local woodlands for coveted chanterelles and berries. And at their weekend retreats in spring and summertime they go fishing for perch and pike-perch, or nab some crab or crayfish for the dinner table.
At the other end of the scale, there are world class restaurants in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. And the West Coast of Sweden's internationally famous lobster and oyster 'safaris'.
Taste for yourself. Try Swedish!
Scandinavia is seeing a culinary wave, characterized by innovation and having a strong tie to nature. Stockholm is at the very center of this.
New tastes and influences from near and far blend with regional traditions from Skåne such as spättekaka (a local, sugar-based dessert cake baked on a spit), ålagille (eel feasts), gåsamiddag (the annual goose dinner on 10 November), äggakaka (a traditional thick pancake with fried bacon on top), and endless types of marinated herring.
There are plenty of opportunities to try a Swedish Fika in the UK. Across the country more and more Scandinavian cafes are popping up, serving amazing 'just out of the oven' sticky cinnamon buns and freshly brewed coffee.
There is nothing to beat the mackerel, cod, turbot, hake and whiting caught here and skilfully prepared by some of the best fish restaurants in Sweden
Two Swedish restaurants made it into the World´s 50 best, with Magnus Nilsson´s Fäviken at number 25 and Frantzen now at 31st place.
West Sweden has its own 'Big 5' safaris with the chance to see (and taste!) lobsters, oysters, prawns, mussels and crayfish from the clear blue waters off the coast during the Shellfish Journey.

Tension: Jewish experience-by-nature: The poet writes, "Each morning, the Jew wakes up with a stomach ache."
This sense of discomfort may well be a reflection of the rabbinic perception that tension is the essence of existence.
Rabbi Howard Bogot's seminar will examine biblical and post-biblical texts as lenses through which to view this insight into Jewish identity.

Great movie for a feel of what NYC was like in the 90's
I know we already have a topic where we talk about films but wanted to start one where we can recommend other than the ones are playing in theaters or you already heard about. Classic movies that don't get runs on TV, less commercial, less buzz around, lower budget but still great to watch.
I'll start the list with a movie i just saw yesterday
Dear mr Gacy
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
If you are a fan of Silence of the Lambs, or serial killer movies this one will definitely work for you!
Great movie for a feel of what NYC was like in the 90's
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
Man, I shared the same sentiments, it's one of those gems you find alone and think no one else is really going to bump into it.
All the actors really distinguish themselves but yet bring a chemistry together how you typical are with your boys in real life. None of that fake hollywood crap always making synthetic and generic jokes, fake smiles, and having great things happen all the time.
This movie is funny without even trying, Vasquez did a great job. RIP!
Kids was a pretty good (dark) movie, enjoyed that when I was younger.
Also Battle Royale, which The Hunger Games basically copied, is a great movie (and a hell of a lot better than the teeny-bopper remake).
I loved that moving growing up, I couldnt watch it because I was too young and it had a lot of sex scenes, but you know as soon as I hit 18 I watched that mayne. God damn putting a rooster on his pinga to take away the curse from him killed me.
169th and Grandconcourse, grew up around there, I'm actually going to the gym tonight around there, so the area is very close to my heart.
Children of Men is ridiculously underrated.
I'm not sure where you'd be able to see it other than Netflix, Redbox, etc. but it's worth watching.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
Planet Rock: The story of hiphop and crack generation
its much more underrated movies right now and i just cant watch todays ****ty movies and actors/actress that even cant do proper interview.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
when i see Statham movies i see this movies its all same Rambo they killed him and he run away 10 movies diffrent title everything same
todays movies is just brainwashes without any sense all sci fi special effets crap.
This thread was started with a different reason..
I watched a classic movie from the 80's recently...
This might be one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Its similar to Billy Madison but honestly Billy Madison is corny after watching this

Chase Utley has won his fourth Silver Slugger Award.
Chase Utley has been awarded his fourth Silver Slugger Award as the best second baseman among National Leaguers, in the process tying Mike Schmidt for the most Silver Slugger Awards won by a Phil (1980-84, '86). Congratulations Chase.
4 Comments
SO happy for Chase! I was sad though for Howard who did not get one. He had a better year this year with a higher average and fewer K's…but no one was going to beat Pujols. That man is a beast!
Well, as long as Pujols is around and continues to hit as well as he is doing now, no other first baseman in the NL is going to get a Slugger. Sad but true. When I heard how well he was doing this summer, I knew then that no one else had a chance.
Nope. Sadly it still 2009.

The Swiss-born son of a musician, Paul Klee relinquished music in favor of painting and moved to Germany by the time he was 20. In Munich, Klee formed lifelong relationships with the great German avant-garde, among them Franz Marc, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner and Vasily Kandinsky. Klee, too, played an integral part in the development of twentieth-century art, as his highly influential and unique talents spanned Surrealism, Expressionism, Primitivism, Romanticism and Cubism. Following the lead of other painters, Klee took a trip to Tunis in 1914. There he experienced the clear, brilliant light of the Mediterranean. In several studies made in situ, as well as compositions made years later, like With the Mountain Range, Klee adopted a cubist grid and employed watercolors to portray the rich hues of the North African landscape. Ever attuned to the natural world, Klee drew from the energy and geometry of his surrounding landscape in even his most abstract explorations.

Family Fun
Valentine Bingo
These creative valentine bingo cards can be printed off for any number of children. The cards refresh on the screen with random numbers. Be sure to check back for BINGO cards for other holidays too!
The "I Luv U" cards are not just for Valentine's Day. Use these during Mother's Day, Father's Day or any time you would like to spread a little love around.
Note: In our version of a Bingo game you do not call off the letters. Print the numbers sheet below and only call the numbers. The same numbers sheet can be used with any of our Bingo games.
What you'll need:
- Computer
- Printer
- Printer paper or cardstock (print off on pink paper if desired)
- Printable BINGO cards (see below)
- Scissors
- Conversation heart candies, Valentine M&M's or other markers (see tips for ideas)
- Clear adhesive laminate, optional (recommended: Con-Tact paper)
- Bowl
- Cardboard (optional)
- Glue (optional)
How to make it:
- Print a page of HEART BINGO cards.
If you experience printing problems:
All computers and printers handle printing from the internet differently.
Mac users can use 'shrink to fit' print option to get them to print on the page.
PC users can try two things:
First try changing the font size to something smaller and try again. In Explorer, use the "View - text zoom" menu, in Netscape "View - decrease font size". If that fails to help, you can print the page in 'landscape' mode and get two complete cards per page instead of four.
- Now hit refresh (Internet Explorer = F5, Netscape = Ctrl+R). The page now displays new random numbers!
- Print the page again.
- Be sure to print off enough playing cards for each child to have one.
- If desired, cover with Con-Tact paper or laminate to be able to reuse the cards again next year.
- Print a page of BINGO numbers. HINT: Print off on cardstock or glue to cardboard to give the numbers stability.
- Cut the numbers apart on the lines.
- Place the numbers in a bowl.
- Give each child a BINGO card and a handful of markers (see tips below).
- Reach into the bowl, call out a number and the children place a marker on the number if it appears on their card.
- Play the game just like regular BINGO. Play for 5 in a row across, down, diagonally, or even play blackout by covering all the numbers on the card.
- Have fun and be sure to check back for more holiday BINGO cards at Kids Domain's Craft Exchange!
Choose your marker. Number markers can be holiday candy, punched circles from cardstock, flat buttons, or any small item that you have a multitude of. Here we used conversation heart candies and round craft jewels.
Prize ideas. Though certainly not necessary, you can offer prizes such as stickers, small wrapped candies, or colorful erasers. Or, instead of prizes, offer the winner to draw the numbers for the next game!
Fun game strategies. Variations of bingo include matching all the numbers within a row or column either diagonally or straight across. Blackout is a longer version of Bingo where all numbers on the board must have a marker. This can take much longer and is not recommended for children 6 or under due to shortened attention spans.
Some more creative variations of this game can include covering all numbers that border the card, creating what looks like a picture frame when complete. Three way is another, more challenging option, where players must cover both diagonal lines (looks like an "X") and the center row in order to win.

How about bringing Derek Lowe back?
So I've heard that Derek Lowe wants to come back, and that the Sox would be interested in starting him. What harm could that do? I think everyone still loves him in RSN, there's no real reason not to. He only left after '04 because he was a free agent, it's not like he betrayed an entire organization and went to a team that he said he would never go to (yeah, y'all know who I'm talking about right?). Plus, it would add some serious depth to our starting rotation. Look who we already have:
3 Comments
I love Justin Masterson!! He is like, amazing. You guys totally have to keep him. Seriously, Beckett, Lester, Dice-K, Wakey, and Masterson would be amazing. But Justin wasn't that bad in the bullpen either, so he will definitely be flexible. And guys guys should definitely re-sign Tek. I mean, he's kind of like your CAPTAIN!
I think getting Lowe would be good for your Sox, since he said he wants to come back to Boston. And I agree on Buchholz; he should be given another look. He did pitch a no-hitter, didn't he? Must have good stuff.
I could not agree with you more! Bring back Lowe! I still can't figure out why we ever traded him. And I too think that Buchholz should get a second look – but I think it was more of a mental toughness problem with him rather then a physical problem. He too often looked like a "deer in the headlights" when he pitched. I hope he can get it all together for the next season.

Back at OLOCR!
Oh how fun it is to be at OLOCR! Our Lady of Chavez Ravine. Dodger Stadium! OK, OK, I missed 3 home games because of my trip to N.H. but it felt like I've been gone a looong time! Can you tell I was so happy to be back?
Things did not look good for the Blue team Tuesday night against the A's, as Braden had retired 14 in a row. then we took the lead, then the bullpen let it get away and then bang! in the 10th inning Kemp came thru with the walk-off and another win for the bullpen. A while back I started calling the bullpen :
The Vultures because they just come in and whoosh! they scoop up a win! They have at least 15 wins.
For the series against Oakland and to commemorate our local heroes, there is free parking for everyone! I could tell by the attendance that the crowd was bigger for a Tuesday night Funny that I missed the attendance number. I usually write it in my scorebook.
It was the first time back for our local boy Nomah. It was so strange seeing him wearing green. He came in as pinch hitter and we gave him a nice welcome. I noticed quite a few fans with their Nomah shirts and jerseys.
Also 31 year old Mitch Jones
made his MLB debut. He has been in the minor league for 10 years! We gave him a nice welcome when he came up as a pinch hitter in the 7th. He struck out but we fully applauded his effort. He was swinging a hot bat l for the Isotopes in Albuquerque. I hope I get to see his first hit!
For Jones, it wasn't his first experience with a Major League club. He was called up by the Yankees and then-manager Joe Torre in 2006 for just one game but didn't see any action. Mitch Jones did not even get to take BP as it was rained out before the Yankees played the Mets at then Shea Stadium. He was sent the next day back to Triple-A Columbus. I hope he gets to start a game or two and show what he can contribute to the team. Good Luck Mitch!!
BTW It was Jonathan Broxton 25th birthday yesterday! Jonathan: Did you miss me singing Happy Birthday to you? I had too much work so I could not repeat my singing performance from a prior year. II am sure Jonathan did not miss getting embarrassed again. Also June 11th was the birth of his first baby! I was wondering how much the baby weight. Jonathan is a big guy.
He is listed as 6-4 weighing 295. Well, I heard Charlie say the baby weighed a little over 7 pounds BUT he was 5 weeks early! Imagine him at full term! Jonathan did well yesterday but the win went to Guillermo Mota. Kershaw, the starter threw a lot of pitches but still did not allow a run. I hope Jonathan does gets selected to go to the All-Star.
Yesterday it was salute to Police Officers! Tonight it will Salute to Firefighters!
Cahill on the mound tonight for the A's against our "hero" Hiroki Kuroda on the mound. Good luck Hero!

Thanks Julia. We are losing right now 4-1. Hopefully that will change. Sent from blackberry.
Nomar Garciaparra.
Great player who probably wishes he was still in Dodger Blue right now.
I hear Manny is about to start a 10-day minor league tune-up with the Inland Empire 66er's soon.
That should help their attendance, plus give the Dodger fans waiting for his return a glimpse of what shape he is in right now.
Your team has an explosive offense, and if Manny does come back in relatively great shape, it only makes it better.
I am glad we are in the AL right now so we do not have to play you guys this year.
Rays Renegade
I love those guys who have been in the minors forever. So much respect for them! Jeff Bailey has spent 11 years in the Sox organization and played over 1000 minor league games. Crazy!
for the month of June our offense has taken a dive but we are still have the best record in baseball! I was wondering where Manny was going to go if it was New Mexico or San Bernaridino, CA. Where has the time gone? I can't believe July 3rd when he is scheduled to come back is just around the corner. The Dodgers will be in San Diego that weekend. San Bernardino is about 45 minutes from my house. Maybe I'll go check it out.
I have all the respect for these guys that keep the hope alive working hard in the minor league. Mitch Jones did get a single last night. It was a bloop single but it is still a single. Also the pitcher Cahill for the A's got his first major league hit. I don"t like the DH and see the A's pitcher gets a single. I love seeing the pitcher come to bat. So congratulations to both Mitch Jones and Cahill for their first major league hit!
Another quality start by Wolf and nothing to show. The bullpen (wade) gave up the tying run. Will he scoop up the win?
I bet you're glad to be back with your Dodgers, Emma. And they keep on rolling. What a season they're having. World Series, here you come!
Jane! You are back in Cali! We lost the first game with the "diablitos" (little devils) like I call the Angels. haha.
Comment June 8, 2009, 10:07:48 PM PDT retrieved from oranigil blog:Shared BrainI wonder if the Dodgers would issue free-parking rain checks for future games, in the event that all three games are rained out??!! (I bet that the management would simply say that free parking doesn't necessarily include a baseball game )

Los Alamos National Laboratory leads the world in computational finishing of microbial genomes
Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory are using their renowned expertise in genomics, computation, and experimental biology as the foundation of a dynamic systems biology capability.
Systems biology examines biological components in an integrated fashion—genes, proteins, cells, communication networks, community consitituents—and how their interactions give rise to the function and behavior of larger systems. Furthermore, incorporation of synthetic biology enables these systems to be improved.
The LANL portfolio includes sequencing, metabolomics, proteomics, transcriptomics, network analysis, computational modeling, and other methods that can be coupled tightly with experimental systems to both understand and predict their behavior.
This approach promises to enhance all aspects of biological research such as:
- Increasing the specificity of pathogen detection
- Designing more effective drugs through understanding the host-pathogen relationship
- Advancing plant and algal growth for bioenergy production
- Analyzing changes in the climate based on diverse microbial ecology
LANL has a rich history in genomic science – from the inception of the Human Genome Project and GenBank, to leading the world in computational finishing of microbial genomes and partnering with the DOE Joint Genome Institute.
Today, with rapidly advancing sequencing technology and the need for novel bioinformatics processes, our role continues to evolve and Los Alamos scientists are applying their expertise in sequencing and bioinformatics analysis toward challenges in bioenergy, pathogen detection, and microbial ecology.
In addition, scientists are developing new strategies to achieve these goals—such as experimental methods to isolate sufficient DNA from single cells and novel algorithms to help analyze metagenomes.
Los Alamos scientists also utilize other 'omics such as transcriptomics, proteomics, structural biology, and metabolomics. Coupled with cross-discipline expertise in sequencing, protein structure and function characterization, bioinformatics, and modeling with our national centers for stable isotopes, and flow ctyometry, Los Alamos scientists are gaining a better understanding of relevant biological systems:
- Understanding the dynamics and treatments of viral diseases, such as HIV, influenza, and hepatitis.
- Explore the complex soil community of bacteria and fungi using metagenomic and transcriptomic approaches
- Designing computer models of the human immune system.
- Analyzing receptor-ligand interactions and cell signaling
- Examining host and pathogen response to infection
- Understanding the evolution of organisms in various systems
- Ascertaining protein function and dynamics, as well as protein folding.
- Using metabolomics to understand and impact plant growth
- Created NanoCluster Beacons that use a collection of a few atoms of silver as fluorescent reporters and are designed to bind with specific nucleic acid targets, such as pathogenic DNA. Reversible, inexpensive, and easy to use, NanoCluster Beacons are superior molecular probes that can be use to detect specific targets, such as influenza DNA or human oncogene (cancer) sequences, as well as play a crucial role in the study of sophisticated gene regulatory networks that could lead to a better understanding of cellular function. NanoCluster Beacons received an R&D 100 Award in 2011.
- Invented a rapid assay of protein folding by using the folding of a green fluorescent protein to monitor the folding of a test protein. It does this by linking the two proteins in a hybrid molecular with the characteristics of both. Applications include identifying the soluble proteins needs for medical research, drug discovery, chemical industrial process, and basic research into the structure and functions of proteins.
- Created "gel microdroplets," to help scientists generate complete genomes from a single cell, thus opening the door to understanding the complex interrelationships of bacteria, viruses and eukaryotes that form "microbiome" communities in soil, in humans, and elsewhere in the natural world.
- Developed Sequedex, a software package that performs the first step in analyzing the output of DNA sequencing instruments—classifying the organism the DNA likely came from and the metabolic function it likely carries out—faster, more sensitively, and more accurately than previously possible. Sequedex received an R&D 100 Award in 2012.
- Developed "BugBrowser," a Java-based software project that provides highly flexible and dynamic visualization of the many features of viral, bacterial, and plasmid genomes. The tool can be used to visually compare multiple genomes, with an emphasis on gene similarity.
- Developing mathematical models of complex biological systems that play a role in cellular signaling. Developments include software such as BioNetGen (models biochemical networks inside cells) and EcoTFS (database that catalogs data regarding autoregulation of transcription factors in Escherichia coli).
- Development of 'omics approaches to identify key soil bacterial and fungal populations in soil carbon cycling in forest and arid land ecosystems, (b) determination of genes and enzymes through which those populations process soil carbon, (c) the influence of anthropogenic N deposition on these processes, and (d) design of scalable molecular assays toward improved input for soil process models.
- Coupling algae sequence information with transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics data to understand the biochemistry of high lipid production and to best inform decisions on feedstock choices for biofuel development
- Proven expertise, and world leader in delivering high quality genome products and leading the field in generating libraries from low input DNA (including single cells)
- Developed workflows now used in production at major sequencing centers (e.g. JGI) to perform metagenome assembly for hundreds of projects
- Collaborating with the Centre for Chemical Biology at the Unversiti Sains Malaysia on a human genome project to study achondroplasia disorder, the most common form of dwarfism. This work will provide clues to diagnose, treat, and prevent this and other genetic disorders.
- Working with the Kyrgyzstan Institute of Biotechnology to develop a genome database related to animal husbandry. The goals of this project are to define the genetic nature of commercial farm animals like sheep, identify opportunities to protect and preserve local indigenous breeds, and develop a genetic database for future selection of rare breeds for further research and commercial applications.
- Los Alamos was a key participant in the Human Genome Project. The goal of this project was to understand the genetic makeup of the human species and answer questions about human evolution, human interrelationships with other living things, and how humans differ from one another.

text: From my experience (15 years of LLL meetings) this varies. Some people never leak, some stop at some point, and some experience some leakage as long as their child is nursing. Well, come to think of it, I have heard of many mothers who can still express milk long after their babies wean. I think it has to do with your physiology, your reaction to various hormones and many other factors. So, you are not "abnormal." Hope that helps.

"Let us tell an old story anew, and see how well you know it," says our narrator at the beginning of "Maleficent," simultaneously warning us that there are changes ahead.
Disney's big-budget live-action reimagination of one of it's most iconic cartoon villains takes what was an underdeveloped backstory and runs wild with it with mixed results, depending on whether you like things good or evil.
We meet Maleficent when she was just a carefree young fairy (or pixie, as the movie can't seem to keep its own terminology straight) living in an idyllic forest world call the Moors.
So how does this sweet and kind fairy (played by Angelina Jolie in adulthood) become one of Disney's biggest baddies? I'll leave the surprises for the movie, but let's just say this character arc is on truckstop speed.
With a cool, dark and sinister ad campaign focusing on the vampy, villainous incarnation — which Jolie nails, by the way — seeing the cheerful roots of the character was a little disconcerting. It was like young Anakin Skywalker in "The Phantom Menace." Nobody wants to see Lil' Darth Vader skipping and saying "Yippee!"
And with help from our storybook narrator, we cross some big lapses of time — some handled more awkwardly than others — that have a tale that spans decades unfold in a tidy (and more kid-friendly) 97 minutes.
Behind the helm of "Maleficent" is first-time director Robert Stromberg. His previous work in visual effects and production design for movies like "Avatar" and "Pan's Labyrinth" is a pretty good indication of the sort of impressive eye candy you can expect. And the 3D upgrade is pretty worthwhile for this one.
On the downside, sometimes those big flashy visuals make this feel like a big blockbuster stew. There are large-scale battle scenes that feel like they're out of a "Lord of the Rings" movie, and it's easy to pick up notes from the Harry Potter films. That sounds all well and good, but more cohesion would be nice.
While the movie as a whole isn't, ahem, magnificent, Jolie sure does relish her role. Sadly, she spends far too little of the film in villain mode, which is where things really feel juicy. "Maleficent" has the sights and sounds down, but it could use some more focused storytelling.

Mr. Till
ET and Emmett Till. Alienation and alienation. These themes will be central to Pope.L's performance in March. Ever since our presentation on Wednesday, I've been thinking about the ability of images to connect us with a historic moment. Few pictures are more potent than the horrifying image of Emmett's brutalized face. The now famous photograph galvanized an entire nation to act in outrage at the atrocities of first Emmett's death and then his murderer's acquittal. Time magazine recently ran an article showing a series of images depicting the civil rights movement, culminating in the election of Barack Obama. The first image of this series was a smiling picture of a Emmett Till. The narrative of images spanning Till's own story—from innocence to transformed mutilation and death—carry enormous symbolic weight. They remind us both of the successes of the civil rights movement, as well as the sordid history from which our country is still recovering. Read the rest of this entry »

July 31, 2013 —
Who was Lucy Ann Lobdell? Bill Klaber struggled with that question for years, and now he's answered it in a richly imagined historical novel, "The Rebellion of Lucy Ann Lobdell." It's his take on a larger-than-life local character, who perplexed, scandalized and sometimes amused 19th century America. Lobdell's rebellion, according to Klaber, "was taking off women's clothes and putting on men's clothes"—a simple act, but one with far-reaching and ultimately tragic consequences.
Lucy Ann was born and raised on Basket Creek in Fremont Center. While in her early 20s, she slipped out of her parent's house and set off for Honesdale wearing clothes belonging to her brother. She was determined to live life as a man.
Basket Creek is also Klaber's home, and it's not a stretch to say that he never would have written this book had he lived anywhere else. He first heard about Lucy Ann from Jack Niflot, a local historian who had been gathering material about her for years. Niflot hoped to unearth a rumored autobiography, or perhaps write a history of her life, but the firsthand account couldn't be found and the factual record was sketchy. Stymied, he turned to Bill Klaber. Niflot first teased Klaber with the story, then handed him two satchels stuffed with all the documents he'd collected. Lucy Ann's legend was now in Bill Klaber's hands.
Like Niflot before him, Klaber set out to write a non-fiction account, but abandoned the effort. There was enough material for a "dull book" he says, but he couldn't hope to do justice to his subject if he was bound by the known facts. Lucy Ann had re-invented herself; now it seemed Klaber would have to reinvent her as well. It was a daunting task for a writer who had never tackled fiction.
While researching his subject, Klaber relied on the Wayne County Historical Society. There he plowed through old editions of The Wayne Independent and the Hancock Herald. As he pursued his subject, he learned more about Lucy Ann, but he also discovered a vanished world—one where young women were encouraged to use beauty aids called "lady plumpers"—devices inserted in the mouth to fill out the cheeks. Lucy Ann was expert with a rifle; she could down a panther with a single shot and live alone in the woods for months on end. She would never wear lady plumpers to please a man.
When Lucy Ann, who now called herself Joseph Lobdell, arrived in Honesdale in the early 1850s, it was still a rough-and-ready canal town. Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter" had recently been published and was creating a stir. Details like this give the book the feel of a contemporary account; it's easy to forget you're reading a 21st century novel.
There's another way in which Klaber's book is true to its time—the author doesn't superimpose contemporary psychosexual terms on his subject. Although Lucy Ann lived as a man and even took a wife, Klaber doesn't label her transgender. He only uses the term lesbian when it was applied to Lobdell by a doctor, in 1883. (This may be the first time the word was ever used to describe a woman who was sexually attracted to women.)
Klaber spent 14 years writing his book; he's had a lot of time to consider his one-of-a-kind subject. In the end, he concluded that Lucy Ann's rebellion was essentially political, not sexual. In 1882, when she was incarcerated in an insane asylum, her wife, Marie Louise Perry wrote: "The abuse and injustice which she often has to endure, and which has such a crushing influence upon her existence, seems to be a wrong on the part of the administrators of the law and the [exclusively male] voters who create them." The words may have been Perry's, but they were also the sentiments of the very rebellious Lucy Ann Lobdell.
[Editor's note: On Friday, July 26 at 7 p.m., the author will give a reading from "The Rebellion of Lucy Ann Lobdell" at the Tusten-Cochecton Library in Narrowsburg, NY on Bridge Street.]

Water safety an issue as fracking begins
PARKERSBURG – The safety of water supplies remains an important issue as natural gas extraction related to the Marcellus Shale begins to move into the area, local public service district officials said.
The process of extracting the gas, fracking, uses sand, water and chemicals injected at high pressures to blast open shale rock and release the trapped gas inside, is a concern for many people.
The concern is the impacts these wells and drilling operations would have on water supplies. Newspapers have reported residents near such operations say their well water was contaminated with natural gas.
Randy Adkinson, manager of the Lubeck Public Service District, said he doesn't have enough information for an opinion.
"I am not privy to any information that anyone else doesn't already have," he said.
However, maintaining the quality of their drinking water is the prime concern.
"Safety is obviously the upmost importance to us," he said.
Todd Grinstead, general manager for Claywood Park Public Service District, said they pull their water from the Little Kanawha River for their 3,700 customers in Wood and Wirt counties. Pollution is always a concern, he added.
Grinstead is concerned for the potential of runoff of materials and brine water from different operations making its way into the river.
"We would have to take precautions," he said.
Many of the gas operations are still outside their area, Grinstead said.
"They are a bit far away from us, but they are getting closer," he said.
Representatives from other public service districts either declined to comment or didn't return messages.
An ongoing U.S. Environmental Protection Agency study on natural gas drilling and its potential for groundwater contamination has gotten tentative praise so far from both industry and environmental groups.
Glenn Paulson, the EPA's science adviser, describes the project as "one of the most aggressive public outreach programs in EPA history."
The final report won't come out until late 2014. But a 275-page progress report was released in December and, for all its details, shows that the EPA doesn't plan to address one contentious issue – how often drinking water contamination might occur.
Congress ordered the EPA to study the potential effects of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which entails blasting a mixture of water, sand and hazardous chemicals at underground shale to release the gas or oil captured in the rock.
As a gas rush surged in parts of the Marcellus Shale region that underlies Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia concerns arose for the watershed that provides drinking water for 17 million people from Philadelphia to New York City.
For the study, the EPA is talking to experts from the industry, the environmental community, and universities.
It's conducting its own research and using federal supercomputers to analyze the possibility of contamination.
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

The following article, excerpted below, appeared in the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer (3/13/06):
"Four years ago, Hannan Elementary was placed on the state's Needs Improvement list for substandard public schools. Then Ann Robison became Hannan's principal.
"Now, Hannan is among this year's 20 Georgia Schools of Excellence…"
" 'There are many elements that go into a School of Excellence,' she [Robin Pennock, the Muscogee County School District's deputy superintendent] said, 'but the leadership of the school and the teachers certainly are two of them.'…"
"From 2002 to 2005, Hannan significantly improved its results on the state's standardized test, the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test. For example…
- Fourth-graders meeting or exceeding reading standards improved from 71 percent to 88 percent
- Fourth-graders meeting or exceeding math standards improved
from 60 percent to 84 percent…."
"Robison listed some of the changes Hannan made that may have helped the turnaround:
- Increasing reading instruction from 1 1/2 hours per day to 2 hours per day
- Incorporated math instruction with science, and reading instruction with social studies…
- More effectively used Title I money. As a school that serves students from predominantly low-income families, Hannan receives federal funds (about $310,000 this year) for extra resources…"
"This is the third year guidelines following the federal No Child Left Behind Act have been used to determine the winners in two categories for each of the state's Congressional districts…"
