Toddler's Tantrums May Be Linked To Angry Parents
The old adage Do as I say, not as I do takes on a certain significance when you look at the results of a new study published in the journal Development and Psychopathology.
Researchers found that toddlers are more likely to become easily agitated and act out if their parents are quick to anger and overreact.
The study looked at the behaviors of adopted children aged 9, 18 and 27 months of age, and their adoptive parents in 361 families and 10 states. They also analyzed genetic data from the children and their birth parents.
The study revealed that the children of adoptive parents, who had a tendency to overreact and were quick to anger when toddlers made mistakes or tested their parents with age-appropriate limits, had more temper tantrums than normal for their age.
Children who had the greatest increases in these types of negative emotions as they grew from infants to toddlers (from 9 months to 27 months of age) also had the highest levels of problem behaviors at 24 months. This suggests that negative emotions may have their own development process that impacts children's later behaviors, according to lead author Shannon Lipscomb, an assistant professor of human development and family sciences at Oregon State University, and her colleagues.
Genetics also seem to play a role in the children's behaviors. Children who inherited a genetic risk for emotional negativity from their birth mothers, but were raised in a low-stress and less reactive family, also displayed a higher level of tantrums.
According to the researchers, these findings help improve an understanding of the complex link between genetics and home environment
"Parents' ability to regulate themselves and to remain firm, confident and not overreact is a key way they can help their children to modify their behavior," Lipscomb said in a university news release. "You set the example as a parent in your own emotions and reactions."
To help your child learn self-control you must model good self-control. Show that good emotional control and problem solving are the ways to deal with a difficult situation.
Toddlers are easily frustrated by what they are able to do and what they want to do. Tantrums are a normal part of development and are equally common in boys and girls. Toddlers generally understand more than they can express. Imagine not being able to communicate your needs to someone, a frustrating experience that may precipitate a tantrum. As language skills improve, tantrums tend to decrease.
Toddlers also want a sense of independence and control over their lives. When they discover that they can't do something or have everything they want, the stage is set for a tantrum (much like some adults!)
Kidshealth.com offers these tips for tips for parents of toddlers who want to avoid tantrums.
Give your child enough attention Children crave attention, even negative attention. Try to establish a habit of catching your child being good, which means rewarding your little one with attention for positive behavior. Even just commenting on what they're doing whenever toddlers aren't having a tantrum can help increase those positive behaviors.
Give your toddler control over little things- Offer minor choices such as "Do you want orange juice or apple juice?" or "Do you want to brush your teeth before or after taking a bath?" This way, you aren't asking "Do you want to brush your teeth now?" which inevitably will be answered "no."
Keep off-limits objects out of sight and out of reach- Although this is not always possible in an environment outside the home, removing temptation when possible can help prevent frustration and provide a safer outcome.
Use distractions - Take advantage of your little one's short attention span by offering a replacement for the coveted object or begin a new activity to replace the frustrating or forbidden one. Or simply change the environment. Take your toddler outside or inside or move to a different room.
Choose your battles carefully- Is your toddler's request outrageous? Maybe it isn't. Accommodate when you can, or offer an alternative that is similar.
Know your toddler's limits - If you know your toddler is tired, it's not the best time to go grocery shopping or try to squeeze in another errand.
Try to understand what's going on. Tantrums should be handled differently depending on the cause. Try to understand where your child is coming from. For example, if your little one has just had a great disappointment, you may need to provide comfort.
It's a different situation when the tantrum follows a child being refused something. Toddlers have fairly simple reasoning skills, so you aren't likely to get far with explanations. Ignoring the outburst is one way to handle it if the tantrum poses no threat to your child or others. Continue your activities, paying no attention to your child but remaining within sight. Don't leave your little one alone, though.
Kids who are in danger of hurting themselves or others during a tantrum should be taken to a quiet, safe place to calm down. This also applies to tantrums in public places.

It is traditional to place the marzipan in a 'rope' down the middle, but I find that people who aren't that fussed about it prefer a thinner layer of it instead. I make my Stollen so that the flattened marzipan goes into a sort of 'u' shape in the finished loaf.....that way no-one ever picks the stuff out!
Oh & my marzipan is always completely enrobed in the dough too.

6 of us are heading to Fed Ex, we're really looking forward to it. My uncle and two cousins are die hard 'skins fans from the eastern shore who've never seen their team play at Fed Ex (my one cousin did go with me to the '08 game between the two teams here at M&T), and my Dad, brother and I are all Ravens fans of course. Should be fun. I think I'm going to buy a green lot parking pass off of ebay, as I've heard some horror stories on the cash lots (not much cheaper than buying a permit, and loooooooooooong waits for shuttle buses).
Anyone else heading down? We're thinking of doing a small tailgate with a hibachi or something, but would be open to meeting up with anyone else heading down. We're looking at getting upper level corner endzone tickets. If anyone has any helpful advice for game day planning, I'm all ears.

This marks the beginning of my second season with bees. I have atop bar hives that is too small. I used the plans from topbarhive.com and it's very short.
I'm in Austin, Texas and it's very warm already. Today is 86F, sunny, no wind. It's the warmest day so far.
A couple of days ago, my bees were bearding a little. I figured it was just the heat. Right now, they are swarming. I have never seen anything like this. There is a ball on the to of a tree about 25-30 feet up. I cannot reach them.
What are my options?
1) I could let them swarm (bummer for me), or
2) I could catch them (and either sell them or use them to beef up my other hive which is 3 miles away).
What SHOULD I do? I really don't know. I should have been prepared for this, but I am not.
If I catch them how do I? I use the best thing do so is build a swarm trap, but how?
And, to top things off, my home office is a tiny lean upon. That's where I am now. And there is a GIGANTIC red wasp flying around in here. I'm terrified of it! So, if you have any tips on how to bait that, I'm all ears!!!
Please forgive my lack of educating myself on this matter, shame on me and I feel ridiculous that I didn't put a plan in place before it was too late. But if you have something to offer, know how very grateful I am!!!

The Oxnard School District must pay former porn star for two more weeks.
OXNARD, Calif. - A former porn star, who lost her fight to keep her Oxnard teaching job, is still getting paid.
Stacie Halas has been on paid administrative leave since last winter.
That's when boys at Haydock Intermediate School discovered their teacher starring in X-rated movies online.
This month, a state administrative law judge upheld the Oxnard School District's decision to fire Halas for repeatedly lying about her past.
The ruling doesn't stop Halas from getting paid or appealing her case.
Oxnard School Board Member Denis O'Leary said, "We will be paying the young lady for 30 days after the decision. So she will be paid until February, 13th of the month, per the recommendation from our legal counsel and state law that does suggest we do that."
Halas made about $79,000 a year as an eighth-grade science teacher.
According to the testimony from her hearing, Halas will make more on paid leave than she ever made during her porn career.

Rush Nigeria hosted the 2010 Global peace games for Children and Youths at Kano Pillars Stadium at the ancient city of Kano in northern Nigeria on Saturday September 25, 2010. Over 200 soccer playing youth attended the event.
Competition involved two age groups - the Under 13s and Under 15s. Other clubs invited to compete, by Rush Nigeria(Kano branch) included the Benfica Football Club, Zango Football Academy, YSFON and Chelsea FC. First place trophies in the U13 age group were awarded to the U13 Rush Nigeria; with YSFON receiving the runners-up. And in the U15 age group Benfica FC won first place and Rush receiving runners-up. The Peace Manifesto was read and all in attendance signed to indicate their pledge to find peaceful solutions in their daily lives and communities.
PLAY SOCCER founded the Global Peace Games in 2001 to promote a global network of children and youth committed to a culture of friendship, understanding and peace. The Global Peace Games are "grass roots" soccer games that take place under the initiative of PLAY SOCCER and are organized by organizations and communities around the world. The Games are linked by common themes and encourage children and youth to share and celebrate the values and skills they learn on the playing field through sport and to find peaceful solutions in their daily lives and communities.
The games are an initiative of civil society to show solidarity in support of peaceful solutions, nonviolence and the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) for human development.
The Games recognize and demonstrate the value of sport to:
• Unite, motivate, inspire and educate • Encourage peaceful solutions and cultural understanding • Teach essential values such as cooperation and respect • Promote life-long health and social skills • Improve health
and wellbeing • Strengthen links between children and adults • Contribute to the development of communities

I'm serious. I never leave them out where the sun can get to them. They do warp. That's one of the complaints against the PF series frames specifically. I've seen it said over time that as many as 10% become near unusable. Personally, I've not owned them long enough to see such a large proportion have problems, but I have begun to see warping.
As for plastic foundation - plastic itself will deteriorate as well as bad chemicals in the wax coat. First, plastificators will be attacked - they will deteriorate mostly by UV and once wax coat broken, by oxygen in the air. It will make plastic brittle. You could not promote one chemical reaction and stop by power of your will another. Good luck with backing frames and cooked wax. I like the idea of sun-treated foundation - nice business solution! It sounds very innocent. Sergey
so instead of keeping the window closed, use an open window. I'm sure the thin layer of wax will be cleansed of neonic pesticide well before the integrity of the frame is compromised (the frame is much thicker and has way much more mass than the wax coating).
If you are not satisfied with that, then place the frames under a black light inside your house.
There's a number of ways that this could feasibly be handled.
Seems like you are fine with the solution of using a solar wax melter on the hive wax harvested from the frames (so long as the melter uses a plexiglass top). Thats the main solution here. I really don't believe that pesticides found on the plastic foundation thin wax coating is really going to cause any consequences with hive health whatsoever. I was throwing that solution out to help satisfy the concerns of the 'tin foil' crowd.
Or and I know this is just crazy talk, you could just go foundationless and not have to worry about it. Besides I think the wax would melt and drain down to the bottom if left in direct sunlight on a hot enough day.
Rod Sullivan, MO
www.facebook.com/alderaanapiaries https://www.youtube.com/user/rwjedi
Another option comes to mind - chocolate fountain (fondue) - instead chocolate, use recycled wax with chemicals; place fountain in direct sunlight and run for 10 days. Collect treated wax.
I personally think - fountain is the best. If decided to try - keep us posted. Sergey
Last edited by cerezha; 06-26-2012 at 03:23 PM.
if the wax melts down to nothing, why is thickness a problem? I'm not sure why you are resistent to neonics photodegrading in wax when there have been studies that prove it photodegrades in plant waxes.
Photodegrade doesn't mean change into something better or inert. The indesired chemicals could degrade into something just as bad or worse, right?
Mark Berninghausen
I can't talk to whether or not the intermediate neonic degraded chemicals would be safe, but they'd be smaller. I believe it takes a small chain of chemical breakdowns before you reach the end result of CO2.
I've enjoyed WLC's (almost put your name here!) negative comments on the PF120's so much that I went and ordered some. Too late to get them in the hive this year (unless I get another swarm call), but I must say, they're a fine looking product and I can see why people have such good success with them. It looks like the cell walls are 3/32" high. One reason my bees don't draw out my 4.9 wax very well is the lack of any cell wall. Since I'm not a big fan of plastic, I plan to cut the foundation out from the frame and install it into wooden frames.
BTW, I took a good whiff of the wax and I didn't smell any contaminates, just the faint smell of plastic.

Don't think so Sergey. The daphnia point is valid, except for the part about them being bacteria.
You can't compare bees, insects who live in the open air, to daphnia, near microscopic crustaceans which live submersed in water.
If you're not using the term correctly, it's name-calling and it's not okay.
I'm familiar with the definition of a troll. Why is it that you think that I am one? I'm only replying to your posts. How is that extraneous? From your citing I am getting the idea that you don't think the german incident was an anomaly. If it was caused by a non-standard application what would you call it?
"In 2008 Germany revoked the registration of clothianidin for use on seed corn after an incident that resulted in the death of hundreds of nearby honey bees.[19] Investigation of the incident revealed that it was caused by a combination of factors, among which were the failure to use a polymer seed coating known as a "sticker"; weather conditions that resulted in late planting when nearby canola crops were in bloom; a particular type of air-driven equipment used to sow the seeds which apparently blew clothianidin-laden dust off the seeds and into the air as the seeds were ejected from the machine into the ground; dry and windy conditions at the time of planting that blew the dust into the nearby canola fields where honey bees were foraging."
"I've enjoyed WLC's (almost put your name here!) negative comments on the PF120's so much that I went and ordered some."
I also enjoy giving the small cell crowd the occassional 'goose'.
I've mixed PF 120s into my foundationless hives to examine how it influences comb cell size.
While perfection is impossible, is it wrong to demand excellence from small cell gurus?
I think not.
The bees are doing fine.
The problem remains one of a contaminated beeswax supply.
That's still the 'hype'.

In September 2012, the club announced the start of construction for a world-class National Soccer Development Centre (NSDC) at the University of British Columbia (UBC). Vancouver Whitecaps FC have partnered with the BC government and UBC to construct, improve, and refurbish two artificial turf fields, three grass fields, as well as a state-of-the-art fieldhouse. In total, the multi-campus NSDC includes seven fields – two artificial turf fields at Simon Fraser University, and three grass and two artificial turf fields at UBC with a total estimated cost of $32.5 million.
Phase One was completed in February, 2013 and currently serves as the club's training home. The final phase of the NSDC is now underway. Once completed, the NSDC will feature a state-of-the-art, 35,000 square foot fieldhouse. The fieldhouse is being designed by Acton Ostry Architects, an award-winning architectural firm based in Vancouver, in collaboration with BBB Architects, internationally recognized sports architects who recently completed the Kia Toronto FC Training Ground & Academy.
Once built, the NSDC will become the new training base for the Whitecaps FC men's, and Residency teams, UBC's soccer teams, as well as the West Coast base for Canada's men's, women's, and youth national teams. Beyond these teams, the facility will also devote more than 50 per cent of field time to community soccer use. This facility will be a key asset in the training and development of Whitecaps FC and BC Soccer players, as well as local coaches and referees.

The complete diesel range features 115A/12V or 80A/24V alternators and the built-in charging sensor (The D3 features 140A/12V without charging sensor.).The charging sensor controls the voltage delivered by the alternator. The unique feature is that the sensor measures the delivered voltage at the battery bank. Therefore it automatically compensates for the voltage drop that is more or less unavoidable in an onboard electrical system.The result is perfect battery charging for single or multiple battery banks, without the risk of overcharging.

For those who had followed us in the past I wanted to post what we had played when these games went live a couple months ago. We have won 71% of these plays heading into this year and last night we extended that run with Minnesota -13 over UNLV. I gave RJ the pictures of the tickets about 10 days ago, hopefully he can post the actual pictures when he gets the chance.
Here are the remaining two games for this weekend:
California +10 1/2 v Northwestern
Colorado +3 1/2 v Colorado State
As opposed to the Minnesota play last night that went off at the same number we played it, Cal was a much bigger bargain than where the current line sits. Colorado was slightly better when our wager was placed than the current market number.

Thanks Bryan. Did you make Northwestern closer to 7?

I remember when you posted all your GOY tickets last year and it totaled like 20k or something like that. Got me so pumped!!!
Thanks for sharing these Bryan. Always look forward to them.
Bryan, did I hear you once say you like to fade MAC teams when they go out west or was it Big10 teams. I cant remember
Thanks Bryan. I like it. Colorado is getting some bad press. Any thoughts on
that? And, I'm curious why some teams play in state rivals so early
in the season. And. It occurred to me it's perhaps tv money. One thing
I really hate is now that Texas A&M are in the SEC. the aggies and longhorns
won't play every year. That is not good for the game. That has to be in the
same category as Auburn and Alabama. I hope they start scheduling the
game again. Anyway. Other than that Mr Ford did you have a good crowd
at the theater?
Farmland...its always a good idea to "look" at fading a Big 10 team heading out west...they seem to rarely cover,...as fav's anyway....if i am mistaken Bryan let me have it...lol
Thank you Bryan - have a nice holiday weekend.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Art by Stef*
Years ago, I tried the dog show bit. I had a doberman that did quite well in puppy matches and non point specialty shows. When it came time for his first real AKC point show, I was so excited. We got there, and the person mentoring me opened the show book and said, "We might as well pack it up." I said, "Why? I want to see these dobermans. They must be really something." She said, "Oh, I don't know what they LOOK like, but I can tell you right now, this dog will be number one, this one will place...etc." She was right on the money by just looking at kennel, judge, and handler names. There were over 41 dobermans entered.
This was in PA area back in the 80s.
Needless to say, I then entered my dog in obedience, which seemed a fairer game. Then bagged the whole show scene all together. The money and time going towards the shows was put towards weekend camping trips with my dog. The mental photos I have of him standing in a morning dew covered meadow in the poconos mountains, and his happy-dappy dobie face there are far more enriching than any show photo. And was less stress on the both of us.
I have had 3 grooming shops, vet tech, painted trophies for various animal shows, and been a vendor for many. I groomed many a pet for show. It takes a big chunk of time and money and can be an obsession that makes aquarium enthusiam look like a drop in the...er...tank. It's kinda like adopting a new life style. Get your feet wet slowly.
I have mutts so no conformation shows for me! Take a handling class and see how it goes. Training is good for bonding no matter what sort.
If that sort of showing doesn't appeal to both of you then you may get some feedback from others in the class. Lots to do with dogs these days. I started in obedience and moved to agility. There is flyball, disc, diving, tracking, herding, hunt, rally, skijoring, carting, sledding, weight pull, schutzhund and other protection sports and I don't know all the rest. Any dog can have fun in any of these but suspect some are more suited to given breeds or dog than others. Heavily built breeds aren't good jumpers, tiny dogs aren't going to be good at pulling you on skis and so on.
never done it but hung out with some AKC folks for awhile when I was curious about Rally...btw, I thought about entering for rally & there was no way I would have been able to figure out the entry form on my own.
Individuals were very nice, but group politics seemed to rule. Membership in the local AKC chapter required sponsorship and multiple hoops.
Show folks travel a lot! Like every weekend.
Maybe you could attend a show sponsored by a local chapter?
I'm assuming you've already attended obedience/behavior classes or know something about behavior training. You could also try a Conformation training class.
If you love dogs and love spending time with them and working on the bond and have a lot of free time, I thinkit could be very rewarding. If you already have a very full schedule and a somewhat limited budget, possibly more stress than what you really want to deal with.
Is that your dog in your avatar?
|Sometimes I'll watch them on TV...lol...I have thought about trying to get into something like Schutzhund but never had the desire to show a dog.
|Rent the movie Best in Show .........
Lots of time, lots of money, lots of tolerance when it comes to dealing with group politics. AKC Comformation champion Doberman owner here and won't bother to do it again.
Many call show dog's a poor mans race horse. (hole to throw money in)
Anyone done dog shows for a hobby?
So I am not sure what the pros and cons are for doing dog shows. I was wondering if anyone ever tried and can help me decide further.
I have the dog, his brother is Best in Show in Italy, along with his father.
I met a show handler and breeder. Very nice and willing to help as long as I am ready to do it.
I just don't know what is all involved.

Adding to the world of known chemical structures is a wonderful mental experiment
Roald Hoffmann
Compounds and molecules are often useful, ergo the vast transformative chemical industries (and the reasonably populated chemistry and chemical engineering departments of the world). Properties make for function. Be they materials for electronics, polymers with specific properties or pharmaceutical activity, adhesives working under extreme conditions—molecules perform tasks. But never as adequately and cheaply as we desire, of course. So there is a need for further design of molecules with specific properties.
Design is often a matter of tuning. Say one has a pharmaceutical lead, a compound with antitumor activity. The chances are that even as it works, the compound is toxic at some level, and that its biological efficacy can be improved. One wants to change a methyl group here for a fluorine, add two hydrogens there. This quantized perturbation of an underlying molecular skeleton is our métier, the craftsmanship as explicit in dye as drug design. But tuning is not random change. One needs a way to think about a property—the thinking need not be computational, it may be qualitative—before one sets to the work of synthesis. Here is a great place for theory.
Although modifying molecular bits here and there works, one lesson of chemistry has been that really new properties or functions come from big jumps, in structure and electronic properties. I'm thinking as much of liquid crystals and nylon as I am of fullerenes and metal-metal bonds. Here there is a still more significant role for theory. For small extrapolations are easy—you can calibrate your calculation; predicting the properties of a really different, unusual molecule is risky.
There are pitfalls, psychological ones, in the service of design. The designer's role is at times exaggerated in the process of seeking patronage, a forgivable sin. It is also what journalists think their audience wants to hear—fables of superminds whose predictions are always right. And people—scientists for sure—fall too easily into an excessive valuation of their own mastery of design, to burnish an impression of their rationality. An age-old problem for science, or rather for scientists….
Everything has antecedents and lush interconnections. Still, there is a real opportunity for theoretical chemistry in the creation of new classes of molecules. Instead of being servants to reductionism, we can signal emergence.

2008 GTA New Zealand being investigated by police
GTA: San Andreas - Modifications | @ 02:34 PM MDT | By Neil
Stacy O'CallhaghanGrand Theft Auto: San Andreas has been modified in virtually every way you could think possible, from a full blown multiplayer mode to a simple iPhone addition. Unfortunately, police in New Zealand are unhappy that a total conversion mod called Grand Theft Auto: New Zeland is using the police's imagery.
The 17-year-old creator, Stacy O'Callhaghan, from Karori, says that he started work to replace as much of the game as possible with New Zealand inspired equivalents "because I got sick of all this American rubbish". However, Jon Neilson who works at the national headquarters of police in the country, says that their legal team is currently investigating. Apparently, unauthorized use of a police uniform is a criminal offence.
You can watch a trailer of this supposedly criminal modification on YouTube.

User Ratings & Opinions
|LOVE THese
User: Mirae G, May 6, 2015
|Best headset - ever. I spend hours a day on the phone and these have never let me down. They are amazing.
|THE BEST Bluetooth
User: Lanier W, Feb 16, 2011
|I have purchased multiple bluetooth devices for my iPhone. I would prefer not to need the connecting piece that runs behind my head It seems to me that it could be flexible so as not to hit collars or push up hair. This product does have the clearest sound and it stops my music or book when a call comes in.Before buying the Motoroka S305 I was constantly stopping my iPod to answer the phone. I had a bluetooth to my phone under the headphones to the iPod. Not only do I not have two sets of earpieces but now I dont have the wires that I constantly snagged on drawer knobs etc., breaking about one headset as month. Now all I have to do is hit the answer button and the music stops and the call comes through AND I AM WIRELESS.
|Great headphone, but..
User: Bill I, Oct 17, 2010
Nice lightweight headphones, with better than expected sound quality, good battery life, and easy to operate. Ive also been told that the microphone sounds really good when talking on the phone.
My only beef is that they are a little expensive here. You can find them much cheaper on Amazon, which makes them the best stereo headphones for the money.
User: Alex F, Jan 11, 2010
Fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for! Able to pair with my cell phone and iPod Touch simultaneously. I can be listening to my ipod and when my cell rings my ipod pauses, I answer the call, talk away and when the call ends my ipod resumes playing. The skip forward and back functions dont work on my ipod touch, but who cares? If I make a good playlist I dont need to skip. the Play/Pause button works great and the call button works.
I can now leave my ipod and cell phone on my desk at work charging away while i take calls and listen to music all over the office (my office isnt very big).
Sound quality is far better than I could have asked for from bluetooth and the fact that this summer i will be able to take calls and listen to tunes while i bike to work with my cell and ipod safe and sound in my backpack is beyond fantastic.
|Great way to go wireless
User: Aaron A, Sep 29, 2011
|Fantastic set of headphones that give you freedom from wires getting tangled up. Great for walks between classes and going to the gym. Impressive range on these as well, able to get signal through 3 cinderblock walls. The controls on the the side of the device are easy to master and switching from listening to music to taking/making phone calls is relatively easy. Downside: these feel fragile and decidedly cheap in construction. But its like anything else electronic: handle them respectfully and they should last you a good while.

A fiery and intensely dynamic Zen teacher and artist, Hakuin (1685–1768) is credited with almost single-handedly revitalizing Japanese Zen after three hundred years of decline. As a teacher, he placed special emphasis on koan practice, inventing many new koans himself, including the famous "What is the sound of one hand clapping?" This English translation of Hakuin's intimate self-portrait includes reminiscences from his childhood, accounts of his Zen practice and enlightenment experiences, as well as practical advice for students.

fishman396 wrote:The design appears to allude to the following famous work by M. C. Escher:
Now imagine a piece of paper with this image being mildly wrinkled and then stylized as the artist has done...voila!
I know the original... and it makes sense... I was just meaning that since the hands are BUILDING themselves instead of drawing themselves, the same idea wouldn't apply...
Not trying to knock the piece though... like I said, I dig it and voted for it.

Seconded; the the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on is kind of tough to see on light gray, since he's white.
Pink might work, but I'd suggest a darker gray (possibly cave-colored).
I will cry if this doesn't make it... skills indeed!

Woot rules indicate one shirt color per entry, so you'd want to submit two entries, one with each color option.

Thank you. Eventually I will get it right.
Re: The Monster Cookie
I like the design, but the changes in your signature to MONSTER size and the advertising in a slew of other threads...not so cool.
Re: The Goatsucker
I don't know why, but this one reminds me of Julia Roberts going poopy. Maybe it's the facial resemblance.
ochopika wrote:I didn't think of this before, but I want to highlight what Spiritgreen said. It is important to convert your WHOLE image to halftones for your shirt comp. This is so that people are voting for the image as it will REALLY look on a shirt. Your design will look much smoother and shinier as gradients, but that's not how it really looks as a printed design. Woot may have rejected your designs because of that, also it's kind of "false advertising" if you think about it... not that you're trying to do that, just saying that making the whole thing half-toned is another way you can fend off the rejections.
Gotcha - that makes sense.
I see they rejected this one as "We can't print this", but didn't reject the other one.
I still didn't hear from them in email, but I can see where this one is harder. Hopefully I'll still get some explanation, but this is an improvement, at least :-)
In the future, I'll just paste the full halftone, shrunk down and send them a full-size version to show some of the things y'all demonstrated for me.
Even though it was ultimately rejected, this really helped me learn some of the more intricate details of design/printing, so I'll still count it as a win - because if you learn something you didn't know before, you're still better for it.
(Kind of like learning the hard way that having unique literary names, like "Mordor" is an auto-reject...)
Thank you again, all, for helping me out here!

Re: Daydream
Well done, this one is beautiful! One of the best robot shirts I've seen on this site. Bring in the bots!
Umm I like the design dude but this is not a shirt color that WOOT offers and it's probably gonna get rejected. It's WWAAAAYYYY off from the royal blue on hand.
It's always great to see new artists enter the fray. I absolutely love this design and style. I hope to see more of this kind of work in future derbies!
Re: Scribble Monsters
Haha, I love it!
This is adorable
Re: alf ending
I think the rejectionator is saying you're using a copyrighted/trademarked? character with no parody. Also, this is up for voting at Threadless right now and woot requires exclusive rights to the design, FYI. I think Threadless does, too.

Need to build a Phishing platform/framework
Just before leaving for SANS last week, I was hit up and told that we need to implement our own home-grown phishing tests. My first thought was "crap, gotta build a box, write code, run tests, maintain code, etc"...
Well, I went to a phishing lunch and learn at the conference, and found out about the PhishMe company/service. I like the idea of it, and I'm try to get approval to move forward with a demo, HOWEVER, cost is always an object. We got an initial quote, and it's probably going to be difficult to get funding.
Which, puts me back at building my own solution. As I was looking up reviews on PhishMe, there were mentions in articles about scripts and programs in the open source community that assist in phishing tests, but my google-foo is not up to snuff this morning and I'm coming up blank.
So, I'm putting out a call to anyone with information on building a platform for this. What scripts/programs/frameworks do you utilize to perform phishing exercises?
As always, thanks for any input!

Part of the MotoEagle surveillance system designed to control Palestinian movement. This picture was taken from the outside of an Israeli settlement (Atniel) in the West Bank.
Motorola Solutions is an electronics and telecommunication corporation that split off of Motorola Inc. in 2011. The company's Israeli subsidiary [1] is responsible for developing a specialized motion-detection "virtual fences" system for illegal [2] West Bank settlements, a system specifically used for the annexation of vast areas and the restriction of Palestinian movement.
Motorola Israel has also developed a mobile communication system for the Israeli Army, used by patrolling units in the occupied territory. Another Motorola department, responsible for producing electronic bomb fuses for the Israeli army, was sold off in 2009, which can be attributed to the global campaign against Motorola's involvement in the occupation. We are asking Motorola Solutions to stop aiding Israel's illegal settlements and annexation of Palestinian land, and stop its collaboration with the Israeli Army's crimes in the occupation of Palestine.

Re: GOD OF WAR BABY!!!!! WOOO!!!
Your message implies it didn't ever do so (as if we were in the future). This rather than that it wasn't out "yet". Also, you forgot the apostrophe.
These things aside, if a man is found, pants down, squating and grunting over your plate, do you not tell him to stop taking a s***? Is his answer of "It isn't even out yet?" proper? Can you really not judge beforehand? Do keep up.
Fair weather casuals who will be gone before two weeks in. Just as always. Nothing exciting or new about this. This your first rodeo, old boy?
>everyone is positive
>everyone has faith
That's the thing about absolutes. They're absolutely tricky business. It only takes one exception to discredit claims highlighted by them. Do mind this well. My existence already trumps this talk.
Do not overlook the others in your brief time here. I'm quite sure they would not appreciate being considered part of an empty set, dear boy.
You forgot the apostrophe again.
>only one
Not quite.
>we see
Come now. You should know better.
>didn't even play
Sure I did. I did extensive testing for the demo. Even without it, I've studied the footage. Even without that, I can rely on knowing this to be the 'B-Team' (to be generous) that is more focused on MP than SP (drop in quality and quantity is unavoidable). A bastardization is what one should expect of the new title. That's being realistic. Mind this well.
This is a failed mutation. Such things die off. That's also part of evolution. Note it well.
NOTE: You seem cross. Explain this.
Dairy: >throlling
What? Also, you forgot the comma.
And again.
>keyboard warrior
You some manner of youth? This sort of phrase is in bad taste. You would do well to learn this now. You're not at some social networking site.
I never try anything. I just do it. Want to "try" me, sailor?
>just a game
Mind your surroundings, boy.
That's precisely why I'm concerned. Moreover, I'm a consumer of this product. There is good cause for seriousness as such.

The edit feature is not the enemy.
Fandango: >R3

Probably because the MP killed the SP (along with the Franchise). Cancer ate it alive. I saw the signs by R2 and abandoned the series for dead.
>party chat
What a social butterfly. Why aren't you with the PC casuals playing on STEAM, using Vent, etc.?
Gally: I should hope you didn't sell your 360. You should be using it for the 360 version of Bayonetta. It would be foolishness to call yourself a fan of this genre and not partake of the best title on the system it was made for (PS3 got the port).
Hippie: >instantly hooked
So then, what run history do you have to show for your long time with the series?

What about him?
Jak: >will be decent
As was CoO (the worst entry *not counting Betrayal*). GoS ranks above it. GoWIII had too many issues to rise above the first two. GoWII boasted superior gameplay to GoW1 overall. One's preference between those two usually depends on love of story. For GoWIII, graphics **bleep**. GoW:A will likely rank between GoS and GoWIII.
Angelo: >double post
Dear boy, the edit feature hasn't the same limits as with other sites. You should make use of it.
>GOW vet
You blew it. As for being a vet, I will be the judge of that. It is what I do. So then, you speak of each entry. Let us get on with run history discussion for starters.
Which among the challenges have you cleared? What highest setting (Easy, Normal, Hard or Very Hard *don't waste words with the dub names that shift meaninglessly*) have you cleared for each? From there, we can get on with your lessons and evaluation.
>been playing since 05
And I imagine you remain a casual know-nothing.
>my opinion
As a vet among vets, I certainly know better than the lot of fair weather fans and casuals found passing through a given board focused on GoW. It is to be expected, really.
NOTE: You use "GoS", don't apply the initialism for 'CoO' and incorrectly apply an uppercase to "Of" in "GoW". What inconsistent nonsense is this?

UTSA wins $1.8M to continue chlamydia research
By Christi Fish
Public Affairs Specialist
(Feb. 9, 2009)--The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded chlamydia researchers at UTSA's South Texas Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases (STCEID) a $1.8 million grant (over the next five years) to study the pathogenesis of Chlamydia trachomatis, the bacterium that causes human genital chlamydia.

"The chlamydia infection is the world's leading bacterial sexually transmitted disease," said Bernard Arulanandam, UTSA professor of microbiology and immunology and the study's principal investigator. "Because there is no licensed vaccine available to treat chlamydia and its symptoms often go unnoticed, many patients who contract chlamydia will develop pelvic inflammatory disease, which can lead to infertility."
It is estimated that at least 2.2 million people in the United States are infected with chlamydia, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Arulanandam's team of researchers, led by Ashlesh Murthy, research assistant professor, has been studying various aspects of chlamydia for nine years. The new funding, however, will allow the team to document in more detail how chlamydia causes pelvic inflammatory damage (PID). Observations will include what cell types appear during PID, how they develop and how the disease progresses. Moreover, researchers hope to begin developing a vaccine strategy once they understand which parts of the immune system need to be activated to form an effective defense against chlamydia.
The work of the UTSA chlamydia group has been profiled at various national and international meetings. This week, Arulanandam will appear in New Delhi, India, at the National Institute of Immunology annual conference to discuss his team's vaccination strategy for the prevention of upper genital tract infections of chlamydia. The research organization is the Indian equivalent of the NIH in the United States.

A unique carnivorous mammal that can be found deep in the western suburbs of Illinois. Characterized by a rough, spiky exterior and its ability to impersonate other mammals like it which it does due to a feeling of inferiority and lack of self-confidence. The male mercasou is near extinction due to its innate characteristic that repels its female species.
The other day National Geographic had a special on the mercasou...did you know that it is actually white on the outside but black on the inside?

So last saturday i went to an amusement park named Hershey Park. Its the place where they make Hershey chocolates. Hershey is Cadbury to us, but is so not as nice, but some of the other things they have are. They have Reeces Pieces which are basically peanut butter m&ms no chocolate. But they have these really yummy peanut butter cups, which are penaut butter filled with choclate around the edges and the sound a little yuck but i tell you they are really nice. I will have to bring some home cos they are good.
Anyway, we went to the amusement park there and went on a few roller coasters and make you feel sick rides, so that was so great...until i felt sick that is :) So i stopped after that and just sat down but it was the end of the day then so it didn't bother me too much. We had the kids 11am-2pm and had 2pm-5pm to us. So i hung around Jemma and Erin who are from Australia
Monday night, we went to the movies like always. I saw Hancock which i really enjoyed. I'm hoping to see Dark Knight on the monday after it comes out. Its only rated PG here, so i'm really surprised since i may not have taken Paul to see it cos it looks really scary and not for kids. But maybe its not that bad. I don't know, wait and see huh.
So here's just a few pictures of the movies we go to. Its a nice place and monday nights are enjoyable so its nice.
Hope you enjoy these pictures aswell!!
Love, Toni xoxo

This was an awful stay. Anne was unavailable to meet us and as a result we couldn't get many things sorted. No wifi password. wrote to her a number of times during the stay but no reply. She left the key in a difficult to find restaurant and when I arrived at the restaurant they had no idea what I was speaking about. The room is very small and looks a lot bigger in the pictures. It's cold and the shared toilet is disgusting. The apartment is on the very very top floor with no elevator. Was very difficult to climb to the top. Definitely avoid this apartment.
The room is as described in the offer: small and on 6th floor, but nice, clean and comfortable. The location is very good, which for us was an important factor: short walking distance to Montmartre, 400m from Gare du Nord and 50m from nearest Metro station. It was definitely a very pleasent stay!
The room is on the 6th floor of a building that has no elevator and is quite a challenge to access after a long day's walk. It is also located close by the railway station, so bring earplugs if you want to have some decent sleep. For some obscure reason, I had no wifi connection and Anne, unfortunately, was not able to solve the problem as she was not present. But those were minor inconveniences that did not affect my stay in the city. The room was clean and had all the basic amenities you would expect from proper accomodation. Anne was very obliging and amicable in her correspondence and lenient regarding check-in and check-out time.
Pour moi c'etait un petit Paradis! J'aimais l'appartement beaucoup beaucoup...
For me it was a little Paradise! I loved the appartment a lot, a lot...
Very pleasant hostess Anne!Wonderful and comfortable apartment in which is all most necessary for life,cooking.....Excellent transport location near the house-perfect for tourism, rest, study...!
The room, which rents Anne is small but equipped with all the necessary equipment. You can comfortably sleep, take a shower, cook a meal. The apartment is located close to the metro station and not far from here to the many attractions of Paris. The only downside of this apartment is a small window and location on the 6 floor.
A nice little studio for a couple of nights in a great and secure building. Very close to Gare du Nord station and Monmarte. The toilet is not inside the studio and is a shared one located on the same floor. Linen and towels are not provided. Anne was very helpful by sending me instructions for the flat as we didn't get to meet her during our stay.
I stayed in Annes appartement for a few days in november when I visited friends and did a language course in Paris. Everything worked out absolutely uncomplicated, I could check in and out at flexible times and the appartment is situated quite close to a metro Station - it does not take you longer than 20 min to go to the central parts of Paris. I really enjoyed my stay!
Anne is the most friendliy hostess ever. Very quick to answer and very helpful in all questions. The beautiful room is exactly as described and very clean. I would definitely go there again! Thank you!!

|Wayne Dwops
|well my heater is running hot and keeps fluctuating so back to Amazon it goes. I'm going to get the Finnex 50-watt heater instead.
|Wayne Dwops
I will look into the finnex heater when I have money again!
I finally have life in my tank..an Ivory Apple Snail named Julian
Still can't decide what fish I want. I saw some of the blue Dwarf Gouramis today though and they were so beautiful! They were all in a tank together though, I thought they were aggressive toward each other?
Edit: I guess thats not the only life I have! I just saw a baby snail hanging by the heater. I think its a pond snail...dark brown with black spots and its shell is rounded but with a pointed tip at the end. Kinda cute!
|try the finnex heaters i have more then i care to think about (as they are small and adjustable) they are great!
|Wayne Dwops
I got my flourish root tabs today and stuck them in. so far my moneywort is not doing well, most of the leaves are melting BUT there are bigger leaves growing on some of them so I am giving it time. but the anubias is absolutely beautiful as is the wisteria! the anacharis is alright, I am not in love with it. I planted it all by the back of the tank but it doesn't go with the other plants. I also at the risk of melting the anacharis started doing 1ml doses of excel everyday. so far its no big deal, but its only been two days. I also got a piece of mopani driftwood that is nice and tall and it looks pretty good! It is a vibrant kind of blood red, will that fade over time though?
Next I will be getting pennywort, java fern, java moss, and the small crypt wendtii. I want to have the entire tank mostly green!
My Aquaclear 70 is also much better than the Penguin. it is on the lowest flow setting so the substrate doesnt fly all over the place and I can't hear it at all. My Hydor THEO heater is acting funny though, it doesn't seem to keep the temp. consistant...this morning it was set to 75 and the water was 80 degrees =/
|Wayne Dwops
Oh wow I didn't know that about the air pump! I thought air would be good for the plants.
I am planning on a lot more plants, I am just waiting to be able to go to a store besides petco/petsmart.
Is that LED hood not good? Thats pretty much the reaason I bought the tank set lol.
Oh and that is a good suggestion about the rocks, I'm going to try it out.
|you need more stem plants in the background, small plants in the front, and a good light hood,
Hey, we all start from somewhere. Just a couple of points,
1. u are not planning on co2, so perhaps it is better to remove that bubbler.
AFAIK bubbler will increase o2 in the tank which is good for the fish, but
kinda not so good for plants.
2. just a suggestion, clumps your rocks together at a few location would give
focus points in the tank.
just some suggestion and in no way judging u. in fact, your tank is a lot better
than when i started out.
|Wayne Dwops
I did unwrap the anacharis, and it looks much better now, just drifting around.
There isn't really any organization to my design, I had something in mind but was only able to go to petsmart/petco this weekend and they didn't have anything I wanted, so I just got what I thought looked okay and messed with it until I was satisfied.. I did order a piece of mopani driftwood to hopefully add some height to the middle piece though. I definitely want to get some crypt wendtii now along with the java moss and java fern. I am hoping to create a nice moss carpet on the left side of the tank so that it goes from green moss to the hill of black substrate to the white sand.
Would it be way too much to put 10 corydoras hasbrosus in with 5 or 6 CPD? Otherwise I will get CPD and RCS which will add a nice red contrast similar to chili rasbora but harder to kill.
I also just ordered an Aquaclear 50 to replace the Penguin. After messing with the penguin filter for two hours last night and having flashbacks to the horrors of trying to keep goldfish water clean with my olllld Penguin mess I decided I would rather have an Aquaclear.
I'm judging you...
Great job for your first time!
However, is there any organization to your scape, or did you just throw things in randomly?
Unwrap the anacharis and let each piece of it benefit from the light.
Anacharis doesn't tend to do well with Excel (as per Seachem's website). I'm not sure about half dose Excel though.
I'd say you're off to a good start. Good suggestion above re the fert tabs. Swords may get too big for that size tank. If this were a dirt tank I'd suggest taking out the swords (large root system so if you ever had to move it it would create a big mess) but I think you're ok to leave it for now. Hopefully it'll do well.
If you are thinking of moss, I might be inclined to stick to the CPDs and add a few shrimp. The shrimp might be able to be self sustaining if the young have a place to hide. I'm a big fan of cory cats but I've read they should be kept in groups.
|Sounds like you're on the right track. Since you won't have to dose ferts heavily, the ones you ordered will likely last you quite a while.
|Wayne Dwops
|Thanks for the replies! I've ordered Flourish Root Tabs and also the three-pack of Flourish, Excel, and Iron to try them out. I also moved the anubias, just wedged it in between the driftwood and stone so it doesn't float.
Welcome to the forum. There's nothing wrong with being a newbie! Being new is part of the fun of this hobby. Seems like you're embracing it and that's a good thing. It'll make it easier for you to learn as you go along.
One thing you'll want to do right away is make sure you are not burying the rhizome of your Anubias. Sticking the roots into the substrate is fine but the rhizome should be above it.
Just about any sort of Crypt you can think of would work for your tank. Crypt parva is a nice, small plant that would look almost like a carpet if planted thick enough.
The plants you have will do really well with root tabs so that may be something to consider. Much easier than dosing ferts. Always good to have something like Flourish on-hand, though, in case you need it.
|you can buy cidex or metricide instead of flourish it's a lot cheaper glutaraldehyde is the main ingredient your looking for

Hi. I'm a noob, please don't judge me (first planted 10g tank)
Hello everyone. I am not really new to fishkeeping as I had a 55g goldfish tank for 12 years but I have never successfully kept a plant alive. But anyway I decided to start a 10g tank, just because. This is what I have so far.
sorry for the bad picture, I forgot how to use my camera.
so this is the Marineland 10g LED kit with Penguin 100b filter. i added a hydro thea? 50watt heater.
the substrate is eco-complete and white sandthat i thought would look neat on one side but i failed and mixed them together more than I wanted.
the plants I have in there are
anacharis floating
amazon sword
anubias "assorted"
marimo moss ball
I am planning on getting java fern, and java moss. Are there any other plants good for beginners with low-moderate light requirements?
I also need fertilizer ideas. I don't think I'm going to do C02 at this time. From my research it seems I need Flourish Excel and Flourish Comprehensive?
i have no fauna in there but I am planning on getting Celestial Pearl Danios but I don't know what else. I really like Chili Rasboras but I've read that they are harder to care for and need a well-established tank. Does anyone have any other suggestions for fish? I need things that are beginner friendly. I also want a Zebra Nerite Snail because they are lovely.
If you have any other suggestions or if I am doing something wrong please let me know!
