Functional strength training focuses on exercising several muscles and joints together rather than working a particular muscle or group of muscles independently, resulting in an individual being able to perform daily activities with greater ease.
"If functional strength training is utilized safely and correctly in conjunction with conventional strength training, it can help an individual not only improve their performance of a goal movement, but also enhance their overall well-being," said Dr. Cedric Bryant, chief exercise physiologist for ACE.
If done properly, the strength gained in functional exercises should more directly transfer to real-life activities. For example, if individuals want to improve their abilities to climb stairs with greater ease and less discomfort, they should perform squats or step-ups to train the muscles in a manner that closely simulates physiological requirements of the stair-climbing movement.
In order for functional strength exercises to successfully transfer to daily activities, the exercises need to mimic the goal movement by incorporating several factors. These factors include:
Once individuals decide to integrate functional strength training into their regular exercise routines, they should consult a certified personal trainer to develop an effective program. According to Dr. Bryant, "Functional strength training is becoming increasingly popular because it offers individuals a practical way to enhance their abilities to safely, effectively, and efficiently perform activities of daily living and recreational sports activities."

The winterless north? Not today, and right on cue for the start of England's tour.
Farmers will be delighted but the footing was greasy for the bowlers and when a stronger bout of drizzle arrived almost halfway through the New Zealand XI's promising innings, that was that.
The home side got as far as 70 for one off 9.1 overs and the teams will go at it again both tomorrow and Wednesday in afternoon games.
Tomorrow was to be a day off in between games, but England are keen to play. The forecast for tomorrow is not promising, but Wednesday is far more encouraging.
There was enough time for Hamish Rutherford to give a glimpse of the form he's been in for Otago in the last few months.
The lefthander - batting the other way around from his father, former test captain Ken - struck the ball crisply and produced the two shots of the heavily-truncated contest.
First he eased England's captain Stuart Broad through extra cover then he re-acquainted himself with his Otago team mate of last season, tall seamer Steven Finn, and bounced him for six over point.
Rutherford is the sole newcomer named in the New Zealand T20 squad to start their three-game rubber as part of the ANZ international series at Eden Park on Saturday.
Today, getting a decent, if reasonably brief look at several of the bowlers who'll comprise England's attack at the weekend won't hurt.
Anton Devcich and Tom Latham had their moments, in between some close calls, and their stand was worth 47 off 36 balls when the rain arrived, but not much should be read into today's activities.
England are finding their feet, the New Zealand XI, loaded with players itching to prove a point or two, didn't get the chance.
** England have called seamer James Harris to New Zealand for the T20 series as like-for-like cover for Stuart Meaker, who is battling a neck injury.
Harris, a 22-year-old from Glamorgan, whose nicknames include Rolf, boom boom, is already the ODI squad for the second of the three three-game legs of the New Zealand trip.

About Town
Like much of the Florida Panhandle, Pensacola's beaches have powdery, sugar-white sand. But what sets it apart from other cities along this stretch of the Gulf Coast is its deep sense of history. Founded in 1559, Pensacola has rigorously preserved its historic architecture, from New Orleans- and Spanish-influenced buildings downtown to neighborhoods chockablock with Craftsman bungalows. Maintaining the historic core has paid off, as small businesses, new restaurants, and an emerging art scene take off.

Modern, clean apartment with everything you need. We had a splendid week, except for one thing: I did not get the WiFi working, but that could very well be my own fault. I am no data specialist. The ap. is situated just ten minutes walk from almost everything, and we enjoyed using the butcher's and the baker's shops across the street, and the supermercado is just 100 meters away. And the bus system works very well.
Very nice, well-equipped and well located apartment. Very nice hosts!
Sehr schönes, gut ausgestattetes und gut gelegenes Apartment. Sehr netter Gastgeber!

The apartment is very centrally located to the sights there are within 10 minutes walk. The port can also be reached on foot. A bus stop is almost in front of the door. The supermarket is opposite the apartment. Carlos picked us up from the airport and also brought again. This has worked very well everything.
We can only recommend the apartment. Thank you!

Wir können die Wohnung nur empfehlen. Vielen Dank!

I have chemical pump similar to this one
It's battery powered and programmable to pump different amounts at set times.
I've worked with them before and the batteries last a while and you can split the line after it comes out of the pump.
I was thinking maybe it would be handy to feed a bunch of smaller Nucs , smaller amounts to keep them rolling with the bare minimum of syrup and less robbing stress.
Has anyone tried anything like this?
If I feed an ounce or two once or twice during the night to a small Nuc will they respond as if there is a flow?

Naomie Harris is doing her British duty and serving as a Bond girl, but, she tells Roger Moore, some things have changed.
In her most famous big-screen role, the voodoo priestess Tia Dalia in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, Naomie Harris wore grey, clay-lumped dreadlocks and the nastiest teeth this side of Oral B. But as Eve, fellow British secret agent and flirt to Daniel Craig's James Bond in Skyfall, she cleans up well.
"Bond babe" well.
"I have no quibbles with being a 'Bond Girl'," Harris, 36, says. With a proviso. "That's problematic, but it's also a great compliment. Bond girls are sexy and alluring and all that. But it's not appropriate for Bond women of today. We're characters, not stereotypes. Eve is very much Bond's equal - an agent, in the field. Firing guns. Driving like a madwoman. So 'Bond Babe' seems so antiquated in light of that."
Skyfall, the most critically acclaimed Bond film in decades, is earning Harris glowing notices, too, for the "both beautiful and brainy" (Entertainment Weekly) direction in which she and the filmmakers are taking the 50-year-old film franchise.
"This movie is about going back to the roots of Bond, getting the classic elements in," Harris says. "But we're modernising it as well. One thing I was happy that they wanted to bring back was the comedy, that dry British sense of humour. It's still a darker Bond, I think. But there's more of an effort to add laughs."
Harris, daughter of a Jamaican-born TV writer, is a native Brit who won't quite say it's her "duty" to serve when called to join Her Majesty's Secret Service. "But if you're British and you're an actor, it is a huge honour. It's so part of British culture that it made perfect sense to have James Bond escort the Queen to the Olympics. If you're British and you're an actor or are in the film business, it means something extra to have some part to play in making a James Bond film.
"So maybe it is a duty to do a Bond film. It is quintessentially a British story, British in character. I love that the film acknowledges that; that it's much more London-centric than other films."
Harris, 36, got her start on British TV after college and a stretch at Bristol's Old Vic Theatre School. Her first big screen break was in Danny Boyle's zombie hit 28 Days Later. She's mixed appearances in Hollywood films such as Street Kings with indie fare - Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story, The First Grader, Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll. But none of that, not even spending time on the well-financed sets of the Pirates movies, prepared her for teaming up with Mr Bond.
"I never exercise. Terrible about it. For this, I had to do two months with a personal trainer, five days a week, two hours a day. I was on the gun range two days a week. I spent one day a week with the stunt trainer, doing kickboxing, combat training. I spent time in driving school.
"And remember the scene where I shave Daniel? I had to train with a barber for weeks just to get some shaving skills. I learned a LOT. Really got my money's worth out of this film. I could be an agent, now."
How many Land Rovers did she ruin shooting the film's first big chase?
"I did not ruin a one, I am very proud to say! I was an awful driver, prior to doing this. But being taught by stunt drivers, three point turns, slides, all that, I got to be a pretty good driver. Everybody keeps telling me how terrible I am in the movie, which isn't fair. I mean, so I knocked a few mirrors off. You only need the rear-view mirror, anyway, am I right?
"When you're going as fast as Eve does, nobody's hitting you from behind."
Whatever use she gets out of her shaving and Rover-wrecking skills in the future, Harris has followed Skyfall with another indie film, a role that was "the most challenging I've ever played". She plays Winnie Mandela, the controversial wife of South African president and civil rights icon Nelson Mandela in a film by her First Grader director, Justin Chadwick, co-starring Idris Elba as Mandela.
"Winnie was exhausting, harrowing, thrilling ... I didn't research Winnie until I got the role and the financing was in place and we were about to start. I terrified myself because I discovered her to be such a complex character. She's like seven people in one. Her journey is so dark and upsetting. People paint her in two different colours. Horrific things happened to her, and happened because of her. I really got to stretch myself and show the breadth of what I can do as an actress with that film. I cannot wait for it to come out."
Who: Naomie Harris and Judi Dench
What: Skyfall, the new Bond movie
When: Opens Thursday

It's a well-known fact that many families receiving Food Stamps eat like millionaires. While most of the population gets by on fatty ground beef and frozen dinners, Food Stampers feast on Filet Mignon, New York Strip, lobster tails and crab legs. If eating like this still isn't enough to spend their entire monthly food handout, they then resort to throwing parties and cookouts just to use up the stamps. Of course, the concept of not spending every dime of their government handout, stocking up on non-perishables, or donating some of the excess food to a charitable organization is out of the question.
"Awesome! I just got invited to C's cookout again! Last time I went, I had a couple Food Stamp Filets at her house, then she gave me four more to take home!"

COCC professor weighs in on police Taser use
St. Charles patient dies after struggle with officer
BEND, Ore. - After a Bend man with health problems died at St. Charles this week following a struggle with police, a criminal justice professor from COCC weighed in Thursday on the hot-button issue of police use of Tasers.
Jerry Nichols, 64, was a Vietnam War veteran who suffered from a lung condition called COPD and other medical complications. Bend police said Nichols became violent in the ER and attacked St. Charles medical staff on Sunday, August 12th.
Officer Stephen Craig, a 13-year Bend police veteran, used his Taser during the confrontation, but authorities said it was "ineffective" and he had to slap ("open hand strike) the man, who fell seated on the ground and had to be restrained.. Eight days later, Nichols died in the hospital.
"It was a tragedy on both sides -- a tragedy for the family of the victim and in some ways a tragedy for the police department," said COCC criminal justice professor Kathleen McCabe.
"There are other methods you could use, but we weren't there at the time. He used what he believed was enough force to get the subject to stop his actions."
McCabe worked in a Michigan police department for 25 years, doing everything from undercover work to counseling family members.
"It's horrible to Monday morning quarterback an officer's decision," McCabe said. "He used an acceptable measure of compliance, with tragic results."
Barbara Nichols was married to Jerry for 15 years. She spoke with NewsChannel 21 the day after she lost her husband.
"They said they Tased him, and he collapsed and his heart stopped," Barbara Nichols said. "So they came out and resuscitated him. And they had him on the ventilator when they came out and told me."
Authorities are awaiting autopsy results to see what role if any the Taser use played in Nichols' death.
According to Taser International Inc., the devices have been used by police more than 1.6 million times. It's been listed as a cause of death in fewer than 50 instances.
"Until all the facts surrounding this unfortunate incident are known, it is inappropriate to jump to conclusions on the cause of death," Vice President of Communications Steve Tuttle said in a statement. "These tragic cases represent a small percentage of arrests, where it has saved more than 94,000 lives from death or serious injury."
When it comes to a possible lawsuit, McCabe says there could be a case, but it's up to the family if they want to take it to court.
"There have been payoffs for Taser use," said McCabe. "It's all about economics sometimes with lawsuits. Is it cheaper to pay off a family? Is it cheaper to fight a lawsuit? Is the Taser company going to be sued?"
An autopsy is under way, but authorities said results could take weeks.

[quote user="NYG_SBXLIII"]
[quote user="AsianGiant"]Hey HK,
I just might dive in and get the new iPhone. I don't really care much for the 3G since:
1) its not really in my area anyways
2) the use of 3G kills the iPhone battery life so I will disable it.
Can I have the iPhone use my home wireless to get on the internet?
I have not converted over to the 3G yet, because my iPhone is very fast, and I love it.

Read on my homepage today that there were complaints to Apple, that the iPhone was too slow in syncing with your computer, so they have fixed that.

I was wondering......I LOVE my iPhone, but with your computer brain, why would you buy the iPhone over that beautiful Blackberry that you had a pic of???!!!

You know that you are a PhD computer science brain, and I am computer stoooooopid......so I am not exactly sure what you are asking me???

When you connect your iPhone to your computer.....the iPhone does not care what kind of connection you have......it is just syncing and transferring data. Is that what you mean???

Apple is coming out with it's 3RD patch for the latest iPhone and iTunes, looks like they had a lot more glitches than they anticipated. Their new cloud service doesn't seem to be ready yet for the masses...
The iPhone seems fun to use, the new BB looks cool too but it's not out yet, I'm not sure when it's coming out Verizon always takes the longest to get phones because they take their time limiting the features and putting Verizon all over the phone and software...
No what I meant was, does the iPhone let you use your home wireless to surf the internet like you would if you had the iPod?
I am almost always near wifi so that would bode well for me...

Went out to my bee yard (yard, funny, two hives) about 5pm today and heard LOTS of buzzing ..immediately I thought "swarm"!
I looked all around and 20 north of my hives about 30-40 feet high was a loose swarm of bees. Flying. ..almost right above a swarm trap that I have 7 feet off the ground ...except the swarm was much higher ...over the top of some nice tall trees. I have no idea if the swarm had just gotten there or if they were just moving through.
I wasn't pleased, thinking they were my bees swarming. Anyway, the loose swarm moved off south, staying high over the trees. I ran in to get my binocs and by the time I was back out (30 seconds later) they were gone ...didn't know what direction they went after that (later I drove around for a while hoping to spot them).
I went back in to grab my veil and went out to the hives that I have just inspected this last Saturday - opened the first one ...quickly looking down in each box ...looked the same as Saturday.
Opened the next one - same thing ..the population looks the same as Saturday.
Either my memory is off - or both hives look good. I didn't see a reduction in population from either one. I'll do a better check of the hives tomorrow and make sure there's a nice red marked queen in each. Too late today.
I'm curious - will a swarm visit another bee yard? Coincidence? I was an amazing thing to hear and my whole life I've never seen a swarm until the very year I get bees. Strange!
What do you all think?

Car Seat Safety
Let's start with little ones. The American Academy of Pediatric recommends children up to age two should remain in a rear-facing safety seats. The reason? Research shows children younger than 2 are 75% less likely to die or be severely injured in a crash if they are rear-facing.
Studies have shown cars seats facing to the rear is much safer. AAA and many more independent studies show that rear facing increases survivability rate in children.
There has been concern that rear-facing toddlers whose feet reach the back of the seat are more likely to suffer injuries to the legs & hips but that is a rare occurrence.
If you're confused read the labels. I went car seat shopping and noticed the instructions are clearly labeled: rear facing until two years or until a toddler reaches the maximum height and weight as recommended by the specific model.
The next step is a good forward facing car seat with a five point harness that your child will stay in until they reach age 3 or the height and weight recommended by the manufacturer.
Once your child outgrows the car seat, its time for a booster seat. This can be any time between age 4-7 depending on your child's weight and height and manufacturer.
For safety sake keep your kids in the back seat until age 12. They'll be plenty of time for them to call shot gun once they hit the teenage years. Stay safe while travelling this upcoming holiday weekend.
I'm Dr. Sue with The Kid's Doctor helping parents take charge.

I look forward to the accusations of corruption, mafioso interference, etc.
I look forward to the accusations of corruption, mafioso interference, etc.
I've just come out from the COC. S/H were amazing! So bad that he've made a mistake, but the whole package was SO IMPRESSIVE! The audiences love them, they were the highlight of the night!
And I don't know why everyone loves I/M here, their performance was borning and they didn't show the passion. They're not as beautiful as they're in the television, just so dissappointed, E/L should have better socore than them!
E/L and Y/C were SOOO GOOD! E/L were robbed! They should be at least better than I/M! Their proformance was a lot of passion! LOVE THEM! Hope they can get a better score tommorrow!
Cong and Sui are in second because they have the most 'complex' choreography that allows them to really get into character, even if it may seem 'juniorish'. I recall similar reactions to Oda's Chaplin last year. The difficult transitions (even if they may be one too many...and they need to stop the constant lasso-arm thing) increase the difficulty of all the required elements since you have more to worry about before every throw, jump etc and you have to pull it off as if it were only an afterthought. Also they didn't fall on one of the big required elements. They skate with great speed, ice coverage, and have huge throws. This is why they are in second, though I believe they ought to be in first. I really enjoyed their program, actually.
Here is their short:
While I like C/Y, they don't skate with enough speed and John's posture (slouch much?) needs and has always needed some...correction.. though Caitlin has great extension and presentation. But I do think C/Y and E/L have the best chance of nabbing nationals champions this year. Hope they medal here
And for the pairs judging favoring home ice favs P/T-- well, it is nothing compared to Skate Canada is all I have to say.

I have also just arrived home from CoC. Based on what I saw, I think the judges' order is correct, although I don't agree with the score spread of the top 5. Pang/Tong didn't have their finest skate technically (and they were 4th in TES), but the overall quality of skating was clearly above any other pair out there, and PCS rightfully on top which puts them in #1 but not way out there. I like their program. Sui/Han: this pair had more energy and presence than any of the more senior teams, aided by music and choreography that was appropriate for their ages, skills, and style. They made me grin the entire way through the program--and that's not easy for a skater to do (I'm more likely to be grimacing). Even with the fall (which happened right in front of me), they got right back into it. I could have sworn they did a triple twist rather than a double like everyone else--possibly my eyes deceived me but we'll wait for protocols to see why those TES were highest. I think their PCS was too high on the SS/TR dimensions by at least a couple of points. I would have had them neck and neck with Yankowskas/Coughlin, with YC deserving their PCS or even a bit better. They did a great job, considering in the warm up she was really struggling with the SBS jumps. I did not think I/M's performance was boring, but I'm not fond of the music/program. They had good speed and managed to keep up their energy all the way through. I thought their marks were fair. I was (pleasantly) surprised that they were able to skate this well with no apparent loss of stamina, after arriving here from from Canada just a couple of days ago.
Evora/Ladwig had a nice program but they seemed a little "tight" and maybe a tad flat emotionally. I think their PCS marks are way too low--I don't see how they could have been scored lower than about 25.0. Next to last in PCS? Definitely not. They ABSOLUTELY should have PCS above the Italians and Dong/Wu. IMO, this was the most glaring screw-over of the pairs short, so not sure what to make of this. D-M/K pretty much powered through their program, but there was nothing special or memorable, and there skating is fairly one dimensional without nuance. A little sloppy in the last half. Maybe it's the music/choreo, I knew very little about them coming into this comp. Dong/Wu had some good elements but spins were not and it looked like getting her into the lift was a slight struggle. BTW, her hair was very distracting--she needs to either cut it way short, or get it pinned back and under control. The mini-Yuko Kavaguti look doesn't work for me. The orchestration of their music is too heavy with percussion, something about it clashes with their skating style. Hole/Johnson didn't look comfortable at all--I was expecting better. He looks like a much stronger basic skater than she. Their music choice doesn't do them any favors. I'm hoping it's all just a case of jet lag for them.
E/L's short:
I love this program for them, though they need to change the latter part of the choreography-- the death spiral does NOT go with the music there. Love their speed though; my favorite American pair with C/Y in second.
C/Y's short:
They've improved alot, but need way more speed on their footwork seq. John's posture has improved too actually, but it gets awry again during lifts and spins-- when your partner is Caitlin with her beautiful back positions, any hunching over really shows.

Is now a good time to buy real estate amid glowing reports of low mortgage rates and high demand Professional pictures of stunning homes and condos with granite, marble and nine-foot ceilings all serve as eye candy, tempting gullible and may dupe home buyers to drop down payments on not-so-smart real estate buys.
While the concerns regarding the potential negative impact of certain high interest loans are legitimate, the debate has failed to consider the context in which high interest loans exist. It is too simple to label a loan "high interest" by looking only at the annualized interest rate. There are many other factors that determine the true cost of borrowing.

Kids are fascinated by gross things; they also dig learning how stuff works. Combining the two, San Diego created an ingenious program to teach youngsters all about the gross and groovy world of sewers.
The city's Metropolitan Waste-water Department (MWWD) launched the Web-based Sewage in Your Face! program in February 2005 to help teachers explain what happens to the water that's flushed out of their houses every day.
"We'd get calls from teachers who wanted to tour our wastewater treatment plant but didn't have any way of getting there," says Heather Lade, MWWD's senior public information officer. After brainstorming, Lade, graphics designer Ruben Camerino, and graphics intern Matt Olsen created a Virtual Science Classroom that lets kids explore a sewer's inner workings—without getting their Keds dirty.
Sewage in Your Face! (www.sandiego.gov/mwwd/kids) is a fun, silly, crude tour of the city's sewers. It engages pint-size visitors with games, videos, and sewage-themed recipes (see below). Kids can listen to sewage sounds, take a virtual tour of the Point Loma Wastewater Treatment Plant, or send icky electronic postcards to their pals. The Ain't So Stinky Sewer Games section has a crossword puzzle that kids solve using "dirty" words. Teachers also can treat their students to a real-world tour or at-school presentation, during which they learn the importance of keeping oil, grease, and other undesirables out of the mix. These lessons, Lade believes, reach far beyond the classroom.
"If you educate a child, very often you educate the parents," she says.
The MMWD gets the word out by e-mailing elementary and middle-school science teachers. So far, response has been wildly positive. After watching a step-by-step, no-holds-barred look at sewage treatment in the interactive video "Adventures in Waste-water: The Treatment of #2," young San Diegan Ryan Yoder said, "I want to go down the sewer again!"
Yucky, huh? And that's exactly the point.
Sludge cakes
8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
½ cup chocolate syrup
? cup cocoa powder
1 package chocolate sandwich cookies
Non-stick cooking spray
Lightly grease a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. Place the chocolate sandwich cookies inside a gallon-size resealable bag, then use the backside of a spoon to smash the cookies into small chunks. Pour the crushed cookies into a large bowl and use your clean hands to crumble them into a dirt-like texture. In another large bowl, beat the cream cheese and cocoa powder until light and fluffy, then stir in the chocolate syrup. Gradually add the cookies to the cream-cheese mixture and fold together until all cookie pieces are coated. Firmly pack the muffin tins to the rim with the cookie mixture. Turn the pan over and shake gently to remove the sludge cakes. Serves 12.
Editors'/bakers' note: These sludge cakes were shared at our offices. All of them were gone within the hour.

By Robert F. McNergney
Even 10 years ago, data-based assessments in schools were perceived as confusing, complex, and rigidly impersonal. Associated with the clunky computer monitors of the early 1990s and oversized printouts of grayscale spreadsheets, most gathered data was dutifully relegated to some dim corner of the school.
Sure, the data was there if anyone wanted to look at it, but the technological moment being what it was, only a rare handful of teachers and administrators possessed the determination and time to sort through the spreadsheets.
Now educational data is everywhere. No longer is the question "should we try to make sense of the data?" Now the question is "how?" To answer, it seemed crucial to seek out an educator whose school environment could legitimately claim to have put a data-based evaluation to the test.
Jean-Claude Brizard is superintendent of New York's Rochester City School District. When this district, which includes 32,000 K-12 students and 10,000 adults enrolled in adult education classes, became his jurisdiction in 2008, it had the lowest graduation rate (39 percent) in the state. Seventeen of the 18 high schools were on the NCLB failing list.
Among the many approaches adopted by Brizard was using a data-driven evaluation service, called DataCation, to assess issues in the system that could not be identified easily. With current statistics that include a 51 percent graduation rate and double-digit improvements in English language arts and mathematics scores, Brizard is well-positioned to speak to the changes he was able to make over time. In addition, he offers firsthand insight into what a data-based evaluation system should be able to offer a school for the best outcome.

Hello all,
I started one hive last year. I tried my best, as a novice, to do all the right things, mostly according to what I read in books. Unfortunately, they died over the winter, probably because it was too cold. I neglected to cover the hive with tar paper as (I think?) one should do.
Now today I finally got around to cleaning out the hive, removing the dead bees. I scraped up stray bits of wax, propolis and comb, removed 3 frames that were full of honey. I plan to extract these tomorrow. Fortunately I have all the equipment I need, including a 6-frame extractor.
Next year I would like to get another package of bees for this hive. The frames were brand new last year. Can I reuse any part of the frames, and how would I do this? The current frames have the plastic foundation on them. Or should I just toss them all and start over? If the bees had survived, they would be using this hive again so perhaps I can keep them? If I have to clean them up and/or put in new foundation, what is the best way to do this? Maybe freezing them to facilitate scraping? What about cleaning up the rest of the boxes? Would the new bees reject the hive or suffer adversely if they are in the home of previous bees?
Thanks for your help.

"It is difficult to think of a contemporary photographer who has limited subject matter to the degree that Lynne Cohen has," writes NGC Curator of Photographs Ann Thomas. For more than forty years Cohen has received international recognition for her photographs of locations notable for their mundane strangeness. While human beings are absent, the trace of human psychology and behaviour is everywhere in her images, to which she applies "deceptively neutral formal strategies - strategies that by showing what is on the surface reveal what lies beneath it." These recent works demonstrate the artist's increasing use of colour, which, while important, remains subordinate to the discordant attributes of the interiors she shoots.

Frog art by Ho Yu Yan, China
"Thanks for all that you and your organization do for amphibians worldwide."
-- Daryle Mishina, Art Teacher, Hawaii
Use your artistic license and do what you think is best, but bear in mind these suggestions:
-- No glitter please -- it's messy!
-- No religious content.
-- No tracing of other people's content.
-- Package your art well so that it does not get bent up. Definitely write DO NOTE BEND! on both sides of the package.
-- Whitespace does not look very appealing. We suggest putting color on the entire piece.
-- Do not put your frogs at the extreme edge of your art, as that would result in them getting chopped off if they went to print. Try to leave at least 0.25in (6.5mm) of "other art" such as leaves, grass, river etc...we would rather chop the river edge than the frog's leg! The same goes for any writing on your art: don't put it too near the edge.
-- Your writing is just as important as your drawing. Whatever text you put on your art, whether it be SAVE THE FROGS!, savethefrogs.com or a line of poetry, make it look nice, not like a last minute, hurried addition.
-- Have fun!

"My first grade son and several of his friends are rolling out the art contest to their entire school of 645 children. What a great way to get the message out to such a large group of young people. We love what you are doing. I am am so proud of my 1st grade son. His passion and love of frogs and his commitment to spreading the word is inspiring. He had us construct a frog pond in our back yard to do some of his own conservation. This is what learning to love something bigger than yourself is all about. Thank you for your work and time."
-- Brenda Slater, Alexandria, VA
To make this contest successful we need your help spreading the word! If you are an art teacher, please inform your fellow art teachers. This makes a great class project for Save The Frogs Day. If you are a student, tell your friends and teachers. Please put this flyer up around your school (just click on it and a PDF will open):
If you are a professional artist, tell your colleagues. If you are active on an art website, post the announcement in the following paragraph. Inform your local newspaper. If you have a website, please link to this page. You can use the icon on the right, or the one atop this page, linked to: http://savethefrogs.com/art

Have you read the Rules and the Art Contest Terms & Conditions? If not, please do so now.
If your artwork was digitally created, then you should follow these two steps. Please fill out this form ONLY if your art was CREATED using a computer. Please do NOT scan your paper artwork. Summary: this is where you submit DIGITAL art.
(1) Fill out this entry form and click submit.
(2) Then you MUST email your HIGH RESOLUTION file (in .jpg format ONLY) to email@example.com with subject line Art Submission.
-- The art must be an ATTACHMENT -- not embedded in the email, not linked to from the email.
-- Please include the native file (.psd, .ai, .eps) if you have one.
-- Include your first and last name, your age and country in the contents of the email!
-- If your art is over 20MB we suggest you send it to us via YouSendIt.
If your artwork is on paper or any other non-digital format, please mail it in. Multiple submissions should be placed in a single envelope. PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY:
(1) If you are a TEACHER submitting all your students' beautiful artwork, you MUST include the Teacher's Mail-In Contest Entry Form. Do NOT glue the entry form to the artwork! One form per envelope is fine.
(2) If you are NOT a teacher, then you MUST include this Mail-In Contest Entry Form with your artwork, one form per envelope. Do NOT glue the entry form to your artwork!
(3) Contestants' name, age and country MUST be written carefully on the back side of the artwork (carefully means don't poke through the paper. We suggest using a pencil, and writing softly). This step is important, as your entry form and mailing envelope will be separated from your artwork!
(4) Your Entry Form should NOT be attached to the artwork. No tape, no staples, no glue, no paper clips!
(5) Mail-in entries will NOT be returned to the contestant: SAVE THE FROGS! plans to sell the artwork at a fundraiser to raise funds for our conservation work.
(6) Please read the contest rules.
(7) Note that Mail-in entries can be any size you wish, and created using any materials.
(8) We strongly advise inserting a sturdy piece of cardboard into the package to keep it from getting bent (mailmen like to bend packages). Used cereal boxes work well for this, or cut a piece off a box you're getting rid of.
(9) Please do not spend lots of money mailing your art:
We prefer you donate to SAVE THE FROGS! rather than shipping via expensive priority mail or Fed Ex. Again, we prefer you do NOT send mail via expensive methods. As long as your mail is postmarked by October 15th, it will be entered into this year's contest, so there is no rush.
If you do plan to send us mail via DHL, FedEx or any carrier that requires us to sign for the package, you must email firstname.lastname@example.com BEFORE sending your package so that we can give you a physical address and so we know your package is on the way. SAVE THE FROGS! is not responsible for any package sent via these carriers that gets returned because you had them send to our PO Box instead of our physical address.
(10) We encourage all participants from the USA and Canada to include at least $1 in their package to help us offset our costs of running the contest. Dollar bills are fine, and checks can be written to SAVE THE FROGS!. We love $5 bills and $20 bills as well, and the frogs that we save with your donation love big bills too! Thank you!
(11) Write DO NOT BEND on the outside of your package, front and back, with large writing. Then mail your entry form and artwork to:
SAVE THE FROGS! Art Contest
P.O. Box 78758
Los Angeles, CA 90016 USA
That's it, good luck!
We had lots of amazing entries framed and on the walls of the SAVE THE FROGS! Education Center in Berkeley: it was the world's greatest collection of frog art!
We are pleased to have displays of our frog art up in several libraries in Contra Costa County, California. Thanks to all the art contest participants for making this possible!
"I just opened my frog art for display, and I LOVE IT! It's all so beautiful and colorful, and it looks wonderful against our terra cotta wall. The kids will love it! And I put the letter up, to attract any buyers."
-- Lindsay duPont, Librarian, Brentwood Library
This is a great classroom activity for Save The Frogs Day. If possible, please also have your class make a large banner that says either SAVE THE FROGS!, Save The Frogs Day, or savethefrogs.com (or a combination thereof). Take a photo of your class holding the banner, and email it to us. Then hang the banner in school as a permanent reminder of Save The Frogs Day, and as a call to action for all the school's students. Need some curriculum assistance? Frogs Are Green produced this curriculum for teachers:
Frogs, Amphibians, and Their Threatened Environment

-- Shelly Zulli, Owner of Hands on Art Studio in Mooresville, NC

We're chatting live with Chelsea Winter on Friday April 5 from 12-1pm. Enter your question for the MasterChef New Zealand winner below for your chance to win a signed copy of her new book, At My Table.
We're in the throes of crowning a new Kiwi MasterChef, but remember last year's winner, the young blonde Waikato cook, Chelsea Winter? Well she's been practicing all her favourite hearty dishes and compiled the best in a new book, At My Table.
"It's been a long time coming," Chelsea says from her Auckland home.
"I usually just cook from my head so I didn't actually have anything written down. So to suddenly have to write 90 or so recipes was a little bit of a daunting task.
"I just sat down and came up with a long list of foods I love to eat and I just made sure all bases were covered - all the proteins, sweet things, all different kinds of meals - and that was actually all I did."
(Check out Chelsea's signature dish - buffalo chicken wings with blue cheese sauce. She reckons it's best eaten "on the deck with a few beers and a game of cards on the side.")
After prepping the recipes in her small kitchen at home, the mouth-watering images for the book were shot in September and the whole thing will finally be released this Friday. I love my food porn. Flipping through books, trawling around blogs, watching Food TV, I love looking at the stuff. Since getting a sneaky peak through At My Table I've already dog-eared a bunch of goodies I can't wait to cook up. Prawn, lemon, pea and chili spaghetti; slow-cooked lamb shanks; and a vegetarian favourite eggplant parmigiana are at the top of my to-do list. Each dish comes with a little story about how it made the cut for Chelsea's debut recipe book and the recipes look delicious, but not daunting.
The 28-year-old former marketing executive has plunged herself deep in to the culinary world. She's continually brainstorming recipes for her website - where she refers to herself as the "blonde kitchen ninja" - and is regularly popping up for cooking spots on the box. She's the face of a Kim Crawford wine range and will be announcing another top secret partnership in the next few days.
Chelsea says she didn't know if anything was going to come from her entry into season three of MasterChef last year, but she hopes that her success can continue for ever.
"I was absolutely thrilled that there was something always in the pipeline and I have just been able to immerse myself in the food world as a job," she says.
"The great thing about the food is that it never ends. People are always going to need it and love cooking it and love eating it."
At My Table, by Chelsea Winter, published by Random House, is released on April 5. RRP $55.

text: Hello, Yes I know these questions have been beaten to death, but it seems I can't find a solid answer to my questions. I've been searching the forums for a few days now. I have a 1999 Sierra 2500HD with a 6.0 in it. The exhaust has a little crimp/bend in it from backing up into a cement barrier. I am planning on getting it fixed, and I thought now might be the time to upgrade from the stock exhaust to something better since I'll be under there anyway. Right now the stock setup has the dual pipes going into a single inlet on a muffler with a single out going out behind the rear tire. Will replacing just the muffle, with something like a flowmaster 40 or 44, and the pipe back give me any performance boost or mpg increase? Is there any real puprose to a true dual exhaust if I were to go that way, or a single in/dual out muffler? Also, i was looking into a Volant CAI, and read someones post on here that it won't inrease mpg unless i get the ecu reprogrammed. Is that true? My plan for now was to get the exhuast upgraded and Volant CAI installed. Will that be any benefit or do I have to get it reprogrammed as well. Or would this setup without the tuning lower my mpg? FYI - Right now I'm averaging 15 mpg and it mainly stays on the highway 90% of the time to and from work. Thanks ahead for any input.

WSSU's Anderson Earns UNC's Bowles Staff Service Award
Rudy Anderson, director of internal communications at Winston-Salem State University (WSSU), was selected to receive the 2013 Erskine Bowles Staff Service Award from the UNC Staff Assembly.
The award is given annually to a staff member in the UNC system whose accomplishments illustrate the goals Erskine Bowles exemplified during his tenure as UNC president and that support the University's mission of public service. It was presented October 15 at the Staff Assembly meeting in Chapel Hill.
Anderson has worked in WSSU's office of marketing and communications since 1997. Previously, he was a special educator in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools for five years and was with WXII-TV for 11 years as a reporter and then assignment editor.
"Mr. Anderson has shown his dedication to the development of our future with no less than a spirit of excellence," said Tonya Amos, president of the WSSU Staff Senate who nominated Anderson for the award. "He presents himself with an enthusiastic commitment for the greater cause of humanity through service, leadership and character."
At WSSU, Anderson is a founding mentor of the university's Real Men Teach Program that provides support and encouragement for male students entering the teaching profession. He is also a founding member of the Simon's Green Acre Community Garden, which has provided more than 5,000 pounds of produce for people and organizations throughout the community. A former chair for the WSSU Arts Council Campaign Committee and the WSSU SPA Grievance Committee, Anderson has been a committee member and volunteer for the university's convocation and commencement programs, the WSSU Golf Classic, the CIAA Staff Committee and the WSSU Staff Senate Community Service Committee. He is also involved with the Writing in the Major Committee and the State Employees Combined Campaign Committee.
Through his connection with the Greater Carver Road Network for Better Education, Anderson helped in the drive to keep Carver High School open when it was under threat of closure by a judge's order. Through his fraternity, Omega Psi Phi, Inc., Anderson has served as a volunteer mentor at Easton Elementary School for five years and for seven years at Carver High School. He has also served on the board of directors for Exchange/S.C.A.N. and the Forsyth County Juvenile Crime Prevention Council.
Anderson is a performer and public relations coordinator with the Twin City Choristers and is a performer and president of the board of directors for the Flonnie Anderson Theatrical Association. He also serves as Sunday School superintendent and president of the Men's Fellowship at Wentz Memorial United Church of Christ.
