Copyright ownership of all work by the university faculty, staff, employees and students shall vest in the creator, except under the following circumstances:
- Subordination to Other Agreements: Copyright ownership of all material that is developed in the course of or pursuant to a university-sponsored project or agreement with the university shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the sponsored project or agreement with the university. In the absence of terms specifically assigning ownership, the copyright shall become the property of the university if ownership is conferred upon the university by operation of another provision of this policy.
1. Employees: The copyright of any material that is created by an employee of the university within the scope of his/her employment shall be the property of the university, whether or not a contract has been executed with regard to the material created. This includes any materials, lectures, texts, any other works created by any employee in the course of their employment for the university for use in teaching and/or works created as part of any classroom activity. Any employee of the university who creates works that are derivative of university work and/or developed with the use of university property grants to the university a perpetual, non-exclusive, Savannah College of Art and Design transferable, worldwide royalty-free license for use of that property (in any form) for the promotion of and/or to advance the interest of the university, including the right to reproduce and distribute copies of their work.
2. Independent Contractors: The copyright of any material that is created by an independent contractor shall be the property of the university if the university has specifically ordered or commissioned the work and a written work-for-hire agreement has been executed. Employees shall be considered independent contractors if the work completed was not within their scope of employment.

Except as otherwise provided herein or in an agreement relating to specific copyrighted work, a copyright owner shall be entitled to the revenue, if any, it realizes from licensing the copyrighted work.
Use of outside consultants and independent contractors
Absent a written agreement to the contrary, ownership of works created by outside consultants and independent contractors reside with the creator and not with the university. Therefore, the university, when hiring outside consultants and independent contractors, shall execute a work-for-hire agreement before the start of the project. The university's preference is to obtain ownership for any work created as a result of a sponsored project, or, in the alternative, obtain a perpetual, royalty-free license to the work. Assistance in drafting such agreements should be obtained from legal counsel.
Assignment of creator
In cases where the university has copyright ownership under this policy, the university may, upon request and for good cause shown, assign copyright ownership to the creator subject to a perpetual, royalty-free license to the university to use the work for its own purposes.

Rockets reinstate Royce White after agreement on mental health treatment
By Ben Golliver
The Rockets and Royce White have reached an agreement to end their stalemate over the treatment of his mental health that will allow the rookie forward to rejoin the team after a months-long absence.
Team and player issued a joint statement on Saturday announcing that White has been reinstated following a suspension that was imposed on Jan. 6 and that he will soon report to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, the Rockets' D-League affiliate.
The joint statement read: "The Houston Rockets and Royce White have today reached an agreement that addresses the major issues that they have been discussing, provides a new start, and gives Royce the best opportunity for long term success as a Houston Rocket. This has been a learning process for both parties. The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association have approved the settlement. Royce is no longer suspended and is re-instated effective immediately. He will report to the Rio Grande Valley Vipers on February 11, 2013."
White told a Houston-area radio station earlier this week that such an agreement was close.
The Houston Chronicle reported earlier this week that the deal would include a protocol to govern his mental health treatment.
According to a person with knowledge of the plan, the Rockets are close to making an announcement in which White would return to the team under a written agreement that includes key elements of the protocols that White wanted to have as an addendum to his contract. That agreement would not, however, give authority for decision-making to an individual outside the organization, as White wanted.
White, the No. 16 pick in the 2012 NBA draft, has yet to play for the Rockets this season and has twice refused assignments to the Vipers this season. He stopped attending Rockets games and practices in November and was suspended in January.
Earlier this week, HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel aired a feature on White, in which he called for a formalized protocol to handle his mental health treatment, as he suffers from Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, panic attacks and a fear of flying. White also sought the appointment of an independent doctor -- "a medical point person" -- who would make the determination on whether or not he would be cleared to play.
To HBO, White painted the mental health protocol as a matter of life and death, saying that he was prepared to walk away from his NBA career if it came to that.
"If I was an NBA player now without the protocols and safety measures," he said, "I would be risking my health, risking my life. What comes along with mental health if left untreated? Alcohol abuse, marijuana abuse, suicidal behavior, homicidal behavior, those are things I'm not willing to risk to play basketball, to have money, to have fame. That's it."
With his doctor, White drafted a protocol that included an "acknowledgement" that "mental illness/disability as being in the category of medical condition," meaning any absences resulting from mental health issues would be treated like an injury.
"If your orthopedist says Royce's left toe has a crack in it, he shouldn't run or jump against the Lakers tonight, you can't run or jump against the Lakers tonight," White told HBO. "The only difference is you can't see mine. There's no swelling, so to speak. It's not purple."
In a November letter to White revealed during the HBO feature, Rockets GM Daryl Morey expressed a desire to accommodate White's requests but also some frustration with his absence. "We have bent over backwards to accommodate your requests and help you meet these goals," the letter read. "At our meeting yesterday, I spent significant time addressing your frustrations. I would like to take this opportunity to further explain how your actions and the changing nature of your explanations for your actions has frustrated our attempts to help you meet your goals. The bottom line is that we remain willing to work with you on issues that arise from legitimate medical need, but you have to come to games, practice and everything else that you are able to do, just like any other player."

I am not sure what stem plant this is but it took over
These are random plants that I grew from seed. The mother plants are Cryptocoryne wendtii 'green gecko', Cryptocoryne wendtii 'hybrid' (a hybrid I grew from wendtii red and some other random plant) , Cryptocoryne beckettii wild collected, and Cryptocoryne wendtii 'tropica'. There are like 10-15 different species in there, all of which were grown from seed and are approximately 2 years old. Most of which flower regurarly and I have gotten a few seed pods already too.

|Yeah, how can we get some seeds? I'm in Orlando.
wow, i dont think ive ever seen a crypt fruit before.
if youre willing to sell me a couple of seeds, id love to try germinating them. if your interested, please pm me with the prices for the seeds for the species whose seeds you got.
Haven't posted in a minute but I still have my crypts. Haven't had much time for them but they are all pretty healthy for the most part. Cool news, I have spotted 10 fruits/seed pods growing. I already have 2 that matured.
Mature fruit from a C. wendtii hybrid
25 seeds from one and 20 from the other. I've grown about 5 fruits before and the most seeds I got was 10-12. Some of the fruits I have this year are very large. So far this season I found 8 on my C. wendtii hybrid plants, 2 in C. beckettii, 2 in C. wendtii green gecko, and 1 in C. undulata. I had experimented with attracting large quantities of fruit flies to my setups and It appears to have paid off. I'll be posting more about the process and will be giving away some seeds so others can try their luck at growing from seed.
|Jealous of that beautiful Crypt collection. One day I want an all-Crypt tank.
It's been a really busy past few months for me so the updates have been rather slow. I've been taking pics tho so not to worry I have a bunch of cool stuff to share I just need to find the time to sort through everything and post some stuff. I had mentioned on other threads over at APC that I was going to try to culture fruit flies and see if I could pollinate my flowers. I looked on the internet and found a few places to get cultures from but never got anywhere. For a while I had been trimming my plants and leaving the trimmings in this styrofoam bucket, over time the decaying plant matter attracted fruit flies and now I have a pretty active culture of flies sitting in the middle of all my humidity domes. I threw in some fruit and other stuff and they are really loving it. I'm hoping to get a few flowers pollinated this season. I was able to some how get a few more fruits on a few of my C. wendtii species. I have a few pics to share of the newly discovered see pods. I counted 6 so that is going to be pretty cool to share. I am also looking to take a HD video of some of my setups to share with everyone. Anyways here are some pics, enjoy
Here is that bucket of flies I was talking about, Looks nasty but there are tons and tons of flies in there.
C. moehlmannii
C. lucens
Not sure of this species but It's commonly called C. nevellii , it reminds me of a mix between a willisi x lucens and a lutea
C. spirialis 'dwarf', next to C. ciliata this is the coolest spaeth I have
My chain swords are starting to send off runners
C. ideii, somehow this one melted completely but came back strong. It's that oak leaf litter I've been using. Stuff is really helping some of my melted plants come back!
Here is a species of C. undulata that I've had for a few years now, it's flower is almost identical to my common species of C. undulata but overall the plants look nothing alike. This species is very sensitive and melts at the drop of a hat. It was entirely melted but has come back strong. I've only had one flower ever from this species. Coolest flower too, so many shades of the same color.
Some species of C. cordata, I think
More to come over the weekend
hi i'm glad to see you share your photos here too
they're beautiful i can watch those photos all day
great plants, great emersed setup
Some emersed Eriocaulon parkeri
I think this is Eriocaulon linnaeus, grows locally in the southern states
It rained for 3 days and the snails in my moss container started to crawl all over the sides, I've never seen them active like this before
Dwarf Hairgrass, Eleocharis acicularis
Cryptocoryne albida threw up a new runner
Cryptocoryne 'Tropica aka bronze'
Cryptocoryne 'Red' ??
Cryptocoryne undulata, species from Florida Aquatic
Cryptocoryne willisi x lucens
Random Cryptocoryne wendtii, they are all usually a blur to me so hard to identify the species
Cryptocoryne lucens finally put out a spaeth, first time in over 1.5 years
I was having bad melt so I tried the method of putting oak tree leaf litter around the plant and I have to say it is actually working quite well
This is really starting to take off
An unknown Cryptocoryne wendtii species
Cryptocoryne ciliata is getting kinda big this time of year
Cryptocoryne beckettii is one of my favorite flowers, it opens up so nice
HC growing in an orange juice container. I put some aquasoil in the bottom and dropped a few pieces of HC and a Cryptocoryne wendtii inside. Really is taking off
5" pot with Cryptocoryne albida overflowing with HC

|Really nice setup! Mine never really got super thick since they're indoors and not receiving enough light. Contact me if you're interested in some rare crypts. I have a bunch of extras(maybe) at home. (elliptica, schulzei, etc.)

I know Florida is always warm so are you keeping these domes outdoors under direct sunlight?
Thanks for answering my questions above.

I ordered two swarms this season and they arrived on Sunday. The weather here has been horrible. It has been raining and snowing everyday with temperatures in the 40's. The rest of the week is simply more of the same. I might have a window tomorrow. It is supposed to be partly sunny, 20% chance of rain, highs about 53 degrees. Then is is supposed to rain and be cold until Saturday.
I live in a small basement apartment and have the bees in the bathroom. It is dark and cool in there. I have been misting them with water and 50-50 sugar water. As of yet, there aren't many dead bees.
How long can my bees survive in their packages? I'm worried that they might free the queen before I can hive them.
I'm shooting for that weather window tomorrow but worried that it may be too cold still. 53 degrees seems to be cutting it close.
Any tips or advise would be greatly appreciated.

I have a table saw and would like to make rabbet joints. I would like some feed back on the type of dado blades you're using and the type to buy. Thanks Darrell
I have a table saw and would like to make rabbet joints. I would like some feed back on the type of dado blades you're using and the type to buy. Thanks Darrell
I got mine at the local hardware store. I bought what they call a stack dado set. I think it is 6 1/2 or 7 inches for the two outside blades. The rest are called chippers. The two blades cut the smooth sides, and the chippers take out the middle. I was taught, when you put the chippers in the middle, to offset the blades. If you have two chippers, put them 90 degrees apart. If you have 3, put them at 60s ect. In other words, space them evenly.
I use mine almost daily, but then I build all of my stuff too. After a while, you can get really inventive on how to make bee stuff. I did some things I never would have even thought about. But for making notch cuts, the are straight, and very good. The only thing you need to worry about, is depth, but after a while you almost know. I had cabinetmaking and millwork in Vo-Tech in high school, so I have been exposed to alot of different things. Unfortunately, I don't have the equipment they do, so I make do. Twenty years later, I am trying to remember all the shortcuts. They come, some too late but hey what the heck.

I see the box joint plans are still being redesigned. The jig I made uses the two miter rails on the saw. I made a fence to go between them, that is square. Next I determined the blade thickness, or the size of the finger to be made. After setting blades to the size of the finger, I ran the fence thru the blade. This makes a notch in the fence. Then measure over to the left of the fence, the same distance or thickness. Make another notch. Cut a piece if scrap, t to fit that, and secure it to the fence. At this point, go back to the original notch, and put it in the middle of the blade, and mark the rails. Mount it to the rails. The jig is now made.
Using it! The first piece to be cut, slide the board into the scrap, and run it thru. Now, you have a notch in the board. Now, put that notch into the scrap piece, and run again. Continue until there is no more board. Even if the last cut is only half of the blade thickness. Now the next piece. Obviously, it can't be done the same way, or it won't line up. This piece needs to be offset a bit. Start by sliding the board over to the edge of the blade by the scrap piece and cut. The corner should be taken off of the board. Now slide it into the scrap, and continue as before. Once you are done, and the blade was the right depth, everything should go together. I need a block of wood and hammer to set the joints, but a tight joint is better anyway. I nail them 3 nails on one side of the joint, and 3 on the other. This box will not come apart!
Sometimes depending on the wood you are using, it pays to predrill holes for the nails. If you get into hardwood like oak, or walnut, it helps alot.
My next project is going to be a six frame observation hive. I have too much work right now, but soon! I want it to look nice, so I will use box joints, more for the look than the strength. I hope it comes out alright. Who knows...

I recently replaced two old dull dado sets with a new 6" carbide set. I think it cost a whopping $181.00. I was having a hard time finding shop to sharpen the 25 yr. old ones.
It cuts like butter and was using it just today. The woodworking for beekeeping is one of my favorite pastimes, cost is no object when it comes to the bees. How many hobbies can you find that pays for itself, and can be a business expense at the same time ? ?
Hi Darrell -
If you are going to be doing anything but the fewest of cuts, you really need to look at getting a carbide tipped blade. In fact, finding a non carbide tipped blade is hard to do anymore. You do not need a dado blade set to make rabbet joints. Rabbets can be made just as well with a single blade using two cuts instead of a single one that a dado blade could do it in. The only time a dado blade is invaluable is when you need to actually cut a dado joint, or in this case, a joint that requires the same shape like a box joint. Here, nothing will match a high quality carbide tipped dado blade set. I paid $100 for mine almost 18 years ago. It's a Freud brand, 8", and I've had it sharpened several times, and still making perfect cuts. Using the stacked dado blades gives you perfectly square bottoms, unlike the "wobble" type dado blade that gives a slight rounded bottom.
BTW, you can still get the old plans for the box joint while waiting for the new page to be done. http://www.beesource.com/plans/boxjoint/index1.htm
Thanks every one for your info. I'll be getting my dado blade soon and be in business. Darrell
thought I would put my two cents in too
I got a carbite daddo from sears for only $39.00 but harbor sells one that is $11.95 both are adjustable used mine for yrs
you can make yourhandles too=but don't try it on a radial saw only a table saw.

Holdsworth's agent said on Tuesday that his player had been discussing an early exit from his two-year deal for personal reasons, and Tony is happy to go along with the 29-year-old's wishes.
The proviso for Hull is that they can find a replacement for the former Salford man, with the forthcoming World Cup likely to give them a chance to scour the market.
Tony has been preparing for this outcome for some time and said: "We are discussing with Daniel the possibility of him returning to Australia for personal reasons.
"It is something we have been aware of for some time and it gives us the opportunity to utilise space on the salary cap and budget to work with.
"We have a number of planned options to assess, but we will remain diligent in ensuring we look at all possible avenues around the world, including the World Cup over the coming weeks."
It is thought Hull have been happy to allow Holdsworth to leave ever since the man who signed him, Peter Gentle, was sacked last month to be replaced by Lee Radford.
Much was expected of Holdsworth at the KC Stadium but an early-season concussion set him back and Hull's on-field form rarely picked up after he established himself in the side.
It had been thought that another of Gentle's signings, Jacob Miller, would also be let go, but Tony has cited the 21-year-old as one of the players who can help fill any void left by Holdsworth.
"To have this sort of salary cap space at our disposal is very useful with the prospect of a few stand-out performers at the upcoming tournament, whilst in Jacob Miller, Richard Horne and Aaron Heremaia we know we also have some good players at our disposal already in the current squad," the former New Zealand international said.
"It hasn't come as a surprise to us, particularly after Daniel missed a good part of last season with concussion, and should he not be part of the squad next season we will be looking to replace him."Reuse content

Deschutes County banks on new Event Center sponsor
Bank of the Cascades, county enter into 5-year partnership
REDMOND, Ore. - Deschutes County announced Thursday that Bank of the Cascades will take over from Hooker Creek as the sponsoring partner of the county fairgrounds' Event Center, in a five-year deal that will provide $200,000 in revenue for the facility.
County officials will join Bank of the Cascades management and local business leaders to celebrate the new five-year partnership next Wednesday afternoon at the Deschutes County Fair and Expo Event Center in Redmond.
"We are very excited to have Bank of the Cascades as the newest sponsor at the Fair & Expo Center," said fairgrounds Director Dan Despotopulos. "The mutual benefits of this agreement are numerous. We're very happy to be in this partnership with a respected locally grown company that many county residents trust and appreciate."
The five-year partnership begins this month, transitioning Event Center branding from "Hooker Creek" to "Bank of the Cascades." For the length of the partnership, the Bank of the Cascades will receive signage and branding rights to the Event Center.
Desptopulos said Friday the agreement with the bank involves funding of $200,000 over a five-year period, at $40,000 a year -- similar to the deal with Hooker Creek. He said the money goes into overall operating expenses.
Hooker Creek signed a deal in 2005 that called for the firm to pay $1 million in total over 25 years for naming rights, with parties revisiting the agreement in five-year increments, officials said.
Despotopulos said Hooker Creek "decided they didn't want to go forward" with renewing the agreement for another five years, thus leading to the new naming partnership agreement with Bank of the Cascades.
County voters recently approved a room tax increase to fund more marketing efforts for the fairgrounds and Expo Center, so the bank's name affixed to the facility will gain wider exposure, he acknowledged.
"We are extremely proud to partner with Deschutes County to sponsor the Bank of the Cascades Center, following in the footsteps of another great local company -Hooker Creek," said Terry Zink, president and CEO of Bank of the Cascades.
"The Event Center is a premier resource in Central Oregon and strengthens our sense of community while serving everyone who lives here. It is integral to a wide variety of cultural, athletic, civic and community events and it is truly our pleasure to be part of this valued community gathering place."
To celebrate the economic and social value the center brings to Central Oregon, Zink will unveil the new Bank of the Cascades Center signage at next week's event.

text: After several nights of below 30 degree temps it was good to see all my hives emerge still looking healthy this weekend. The temps for Friday ,Saturday and today were in the high 60's, low 70's. Much to my surprise they were hauling in pollen from somewhere. I don't know where it was coming from but there was plenty of the bright orange stuff. Maybe they went to visit Lowes garden center.

Invasive species are everywhere
Invasive species are a significant threat in the United States. Native species, native habitats, commercial agriculture even recreation are at risk. The following reviews some of the better known invaders.
Native to eastern Russia, northern China, Japan, and Korea, the Emerald Ash Borer arrived in the U.S. in 2002 as a cargo stowaway. This little invader, credited with causing over $3.5 billion in annual damages, holds the potential to kill most of the ash trees in this country.PHOTO: Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
Established populations of the Burmese Python, native to Southeast Asia, were first reported in 2000. The introduction is believed to be a case of escaped or intentional release. The Burmese Python's primary impact includes preying on native and endangered species. The current distribution includes South Florida.
Commonly know as Killer Bees, the Africanized Honeybee was first found in South Texas in 1990. Native to Africa, the bees reached the United Stated after moving North from South America. More aggressive than honeybees, Africanized Honeybees are negatively impacting honey production and creating safety concerns for residents in areas they now inhabit.PHOTO: Jeffrey W. Lotz
South Florida, a common beach head for invasive species, is home to feral Green Iguanas. Native to Central and South America these common pets have been released in sufficient quantities to create a breeding population that is not likely to go away. Even an the unusual low temperatures in January 2008, which saw iguanas dropping dead from trees in mass quantities, has not slowed the invasion.PHOTO: Wikimedia Commons: Christian Mehlführer
While it is hard to believe today, the Brown Rat or Norway Rat did not always inhabit every human settlement. It did not reach the U.S. until the mid 1700's. Able to exist on a widely varied diet, the Brown Rat is here to stay.PHOTO: National Park Service
The Asian Carp includes multiple varieties which first appeared in U.S. waterways as follows: bighead carp 1972, black carp 1970s, grass carp 1963 and silver carp 1973. Three of the four were imported for aquaculture and phytoplankton management then accidentally released. The black carp are believed to have been accidentally been imported with one of the other three.PHOTO: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The impact and distribution of each variety of Asian carp varies slightly. Each has been shown to negatively impact native aquatic species and disrupt the aquatic food web. Listed as injurious wildlife under the Federal Lacey Act, the Asian carp is currently illegal to import, export, or transport between States without a permit (DOI, Fish and Wildlife Service)PHOTO: US Fish & Wildlife Service
The Zebra Mussel, from Eurasia, was introduced to the U.S. in 1988 and quickly became a commercial threat in the Great Lakes. Impacts include competition with native species and rapid clogging of pipes and waterways.PHOTO: USGS
The wild boar or feral hog is one of the more feared invasive species. Originally introduced as a food source in the 1500s, the boar now stalks the undergrowth of the southern United States and parts of the far west, damaging native plants and commercial crops.PHOTO: The Nature Conservancy Archive
Native to Asia, the Kudzu plant was intentionally introduced in the late 1800s for erosion control. Now growing in more than half of the country, the Kudzo crowds out native species by growing more than a foot a day under the right conditions. With no natural predators the invasion is likely to continue.PHOTO: Leslie J. Mehrhoff
Even the name sound ominous. The Northern Snakehead is highly invasive fresh water species with no natural predators that can decimate populations of native fish. First discovered in Maryland in 2002, the Snakehead's distribution now includes states up and down the East Coast and even some western states.PHOTO: U.S. Geological Survey
West Nile Virus is a well known example of an invasive microbe. Native to Africa, the virus was first reported in the U.S. in 1999 and now can be found in all of the contiguous states. Transmitted through female mosquitoes, the virus can infect birds and mammals causing severe symptoms up to and including death.
While the West Nile Virus is bad enough on its own, it receives some assistance from yet another invader. The Asian Tiger Mosquito arrived in the U.S. in 1985 and is a known carrier of West Nile. These aggressive daytime mosquitos are now widespread.PHOTO: Susan Ellis
Native to Australia, Indonesia and Papua, New Guinea, the Brown Tree Snake has decimated native bird populations in Guam since the 1950s. The commercial impact includes frequent power outages caused when the snakes climb on electrical wires. While no eradication efforts have proven successful, the use of poison laced mice as bait has shown to provide some reductions in controlled areas.PHOTO: National Park Service
Once the namesakes of countless "Elm Streets," the mighty elm tree has been decimated by the invasive Dutch Elm Disease since being discovered in the 1930s. Lethal to elm trees, the disease has changed the character of forests throughout the U.S. except in the desert southwest.PHOTO: USDA Forest Service
White-Nose Syndrome was first discovered in bats in a cave near Albany, N.Y. in Feb 2006. While the origin of the introduction is unclear, the impacts are considerably more evident. The disease creates mortality rates of 60 to 90 percent for infected bats.PHOTO: USGS
Its true, the Bullfrog which goes by the common name "American Bullfrog" is an invasive species. Arriving in the early 1900s, the Bullfrog is part of childhood for kids in the Central and Eastern U.S. This frog competes with and preys on the native species that originally inhabited waterways.PHOTO: Carl D. Howe
Two species of Lionfish have established themselves as significant invasive species off the East Coast. The Lionfish preys on native species and has venomous spines. A sting from the Lionfish can cause temporary paralysis of the limbs, heart failure and even death in humans.PHOTO: Albert Kok
Intentionally introduced in the 1800s as an erosion control agent the Giant Reed has since spread across the southern states from Maryland to California. Capable of reaching heights of 20 feet, the Giant Reed crowds out native species.PHOTO: Chuck Bargeron, University of Georgia
The larval stage of the Citrus Long Horn Beetle attacks and kills healthy trees, including fruit and ornamental trees. A relatively recent invader, the beetle was first identified in Washington state in 2001. The means of introduction was on trees imported from Asia.PHOTO: Art Wagner, Washington State Department of Agriculture
Now found in Florida, Georgia and Hawaii, the Asian Swamp Eel was first released from fish markets in the early 1990s. It is a hearty competitor with native species for resources. Capable of moving over dry land for short distances this eel is likely not done invading.
As the name suggest, the European Green Crab reached the east coast of the U.S. in 1817 and the west coast in the 1980s through ballast water discharge. If you are a fan of clams and scallops this little invader is competing with you for food.PHOTO: u local: MelissaA
Many people think of far away lands when it comes to invasive species, not just over the northern border. That is exactly where the Canada Thistle originated. The Canada Thistle now crowds out native species in large parts of the eastern U.S.PHOTO: Leslie J. Mehrhoff, University of Connecticut
Resembling a large rat, the Nutria typically weighs 11-20 pounds. Introduced for fur production from South America in the 1930s, the Nutria now inhabits wetlands along parts of the Gulf, Atlantic and Pacific coasts. With the ability to consume up to 25 percent of its body weight daily, the Nutria stresses or destroys habitat wherever it takes up residence.PHOTO: Wikimedia Commons: Petar Milosevic
First discovered in 1904 after introduction on nursery stock from Asia, the Chestnut Blight has since virtually eliminated the American chestnut from the U.S..PHOTO: Joseph O'Brien, USDA Forest Service
Reaching up to a foot in length and two pounds, the Giant African Snail was imported as a pet and then released as early as 1966. Unfortunately, this one time pet is also considered by scientist to be one of the most damaging snails in the world. It is known to eat at least 500 different types of plants. Hawaii has the only established population, but Florida has seen an increase in sightings since 2012.PHOTO: USDA APHIS
In the most recent outbreak in 2003, Exotic Newcastle Disease, a microbe pathogen, affected poultry in several states, requiring the destruction of 3.4 million birds. California alone spent more than $160 million to control the outbreak.PHOTO: u local: shirley
Introduced in 1955 to control sugar cane pests, the South American Cane Toad now makes Hawaii and Florida home. The Cane Toad competes with native species and is highly toxic to predators, including household pets.PHOTO: U.S. Geological Survey
European Gypsy Moth is one of the early invaders on this list, arriving in the U.S. in 1869. Intentionally imported for silk production these little moths are capable of defoliating trees and created havoc with commercial forestry through the Northeast. The larval stage is pictured here.PHOTO: University of Oradea
The European Starling arrived as part of one of the odder intentional non-native species introduction projects. The Starling was part of a plan to introduce all birds mentioned in the works of Shakespeare to the U.S. The bird now calls the entire country home.PHOTO: Public domain: Wilhelm von Wright
Nicknamed "Killer Algae," Caulerpa taxifolia was found off the coast of California in 2000. Currently believed to have been eradicated through aggressive removal efforts, the risk remains.PHOTO: NOAA
The Sea Lamprey, seen here attached to a lake trout, invaded the Great Lakes in 1835 through a man made canal that provided passage from the Atlantic Ocean. As a non-native species, it creates stress on the native populations it preys on or competes with.PHOTO: US Fish and Wildlife Service
The Spectacled Caiman has been inhabiting two Florida counties since 1960. Susceptible to the cold, further northward expansion is not expected. Where these do reside, native species have another invader to contend with.
The beautiful Mute Swan is actually an invader from Europe. Taking its name from behavior that is less vocal than other swans, was introduced in the 1900s for agriculture. Ever increasing populations severely reduce densities of submerged vegetation where they occur.
Commonly known as Didymo or Rock Snot, this invader even sounds alien. This is a species of diatom that blooms in freshwater rivers and streams, with consistently cold water temperatures. This species is one of the reasons boaters need to remove vegetation from the boats before leaving a site.
First reported in Alabama in 1897, Alligatorweed forms dense mats that crowd out native species and impede recreational activities such as boating, swimming, and fishing.PHOTO: USDA
First discovered outside of its native range in the 1960s, the Rusty Crayfish now inhabits the Great Lakes and New England. It now competes aggressively with native crayfish species.PHOTO: Cgoldsmith1
Our list ends with a real stinker. The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug from Asia was first collected in Pennsylvania in 1998. It feeds on a variety of plants, including fruit trees, ornamentals, and some crops.PHOTO: Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University

Carolina Panthers need a pass rusher big time and OSi would fill that need, they would be willing to part with Johnathan Stewart which would be way better than bradshaw and Jacobs. He can run, block and catch the ball not to many 235 lbs running backs with 4.45 speed around can do that. I wish we could make this deal also he will be a free agent in 2013 so they will be willing to make a trade.

In late February the Opportunity Maine political action committee gathered enough signatures to get a referendum onto this November's ballot that they hope will encourage recent Maine graduates to stay in the state after graduation. The ballot will read: "Do you want to allow a tax credit for college loan repayments to any taxpayer who earns a future college degree in Maine and continues to live and work in Maine?"
In the 2000 Census, the most recent information available, 21- to 24-year-olds with a bachelor's degree in Maine reported making about $7500 less than Massachusetts workers with the same educational background. According to HousingTracker.net, in the last quarter of 2006 Portland residents spent 22 percent of their income on housing, while Boston residents spent 29 percent. So the difference in living expenses comes close to making up for the lower salary when considering the age group of 21- to 24-year-olds. Then why are college students leaving Maine after graduation?
The answer is advancements and promotions. The next age group, 25- to 34-year-olds with a bachelor's degree, reported making almost $11,000 more per year in Massachusetts. People are not leaving the state because they will make more money immediately, but because in the long run, they will earn a larger return on their educational investment.
Opportunity Maine says higher-education debt has more than doubled in less than a decade and that Mainers are concerned that after they graduate they won't be able to support themselves.
Out of three major state universities, University of Maine in Orono, University of Massachusetts in Boston, and University of New Hampshire in Durham, UMaine's tuition with room and board is by far the cheapest, whether a student is paying in-state or out-of-state tuition. A student from Maine can graduate from UMaine for less than $27,000. In-state tuition with room and board at UMass is $54,156, while UNH is $71,940.
There's no denying that the University of Maine system is a good deal: with out-of-state tuition plus room and board costing $44,372, it is still less than in-state tuition at either UMass or UNH.
So UMaine's cost alone will draw out-of-state students to study here. But the Maine Tax Credit for College Loan Repayment is only going to help students who paid in-state tuition. Losing graduates who weren't Maine residents (15 percent of students at UMaine, according to director of university relations Joseph Carr), is not a consideration for this initiative. The credit will also only equal the loan amount for tuition at the University of Maine or the Maine Community College System, meaning anyone graduating from a more expensive Maine school will get only a portion of their loan as a credit.
But Opportunity Maine encourages voters to view the tax credit as an investment in Maine's economy. One of the largest reasons businesses choose an area for development is a highly educated workforce, according to Opportunity Maine campaign director Rob Brown. Maine is 30 percent behind the New England average for salary and 30 percent behind for degree attainment. By encouraging Maine residents to achieve higher education, Opportunity Maine believes the state will become a more desirable place for businesses.
"This is not a silver bullet," says Brown. "This is not going to cure the higher education problem immediately, but we need to make a long term and lasting impact on Maine's economy and this is the most efficient way to do that."

It's time for the Juno Awards again and while it's nice just to be nominated, it's a hell of a lot nicer to win. Even better would be to win a lot.
So after we figured out everything that was happening at this year's 42 annual Junos, we got to thinking, "Who has won the most Juno Awards of all time?"
We went into a data cave to find the answer and here are the top 20 winningest Juno winners ever! Can you guess who made the list?
The pride of Springhill, Nova Scotia, Anne Murray is the most celebrated Juno winner. The bulk of Murray's wins fall in the Top Female Vocalist and Country Female Vocalist of the Year categories, accounting for 16 of her 24 Juno Award wins. But the feeling was not always mutual. Murray boycotted the Junos starting in 1975 due to what she perceived to be the amateur production behind the show. Murray would eventually return to the Juno stage, to a standing ovation, and was inducted into the Juno's Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1993.
Quebec's Celine Dion has, not surprisingly, won in both French and English categories. Her first win came in 1991 for Female Vocalist of the Year, a prize she would also bring home on five other occasions. Her first Francophone Juno win came in 1993, awarded the Best Selling Francophone Album for "Dion Chante Plamondon." Dion is up for another three awards this weekend including Juno Fan Choice Award, Adult Contemporary Album of the Year and Album of the Year for last year's French-language "Sans Attendre."
Bryan Adams was Canada's breakout star in the 1980s, having sold more than a reported 12 million copies of his 1984 album "Reckless" worldwide. Not surprisingly, Adams became a frequent visitor on the Juno Awards stage between 1983 and 1987 when he brought home 10 of his 19 Juno Awards. While his most recent Juno win was in 2000 for Best Male Artist, Bryan Adams was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2006 and was awarded the Allan Water Humanitarian Award in 2010.
Alanis Morisette is no stranger to the Juno Awards stage. She was awarded the Most Promising Female Vocalist of the Year Award in 1992 but her real success came after breakthrough 1995 album "Jagged Little Pill." That record helped the artist nab five Junos in 1996 alone. Her most recent win was in 2009 for Pop Album of the Year for her record "Flavors of Entanglement." And of course, who could forget Morissette's pubic, er, public display against censorship when she hosted the 2004 Juno Awards ceremony?
It was somewhat prophetic that the first Juno Award win for Kingston's The Tragically Hip would be for Most Promising Group of the Year in 1990. Inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2005, The Hip's reputation stemmed from their live shows and the frenetic performances of vocalist Gord Downie. Arguably one of Canada's best-loved bands, the group has brought home the most Juno hardware in the categories of Group of the Year and Entertainer of the Year. Their most recent Juno Award was for their 2006 Box Set / DVD "Hipeponymous."
Growing up in Timmins, Ontario, some might argue that Shania Twain is an unlikely country star. But what a star she is, claiming more than 60 million records sold worldwide in addition to 13 Juno Awards. She is also one of just a few entertainers on our list that can also lay claim to having been a Juno Awards host in addition to winner. She hosted the 2003 Juno Awards ceremony in Ottawa.
From 1968 through 1978, not one year passed without the iconic Gordon Lightfoot having won a Juno Award or an RPM Award (the predecessor to the Junos). Five of his wins came from the Folksinger of the Year Category while, not surprisingly, his song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" helped him win Composer of the Year in 1977. In 1986, Lightfoot was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame while in June 1998, Lightfoot was among the inaugural group of stars given a spot on the Canadian Walk of Fame.
The Montreal Symphony Orchestra has been racking up Juno Award wins over the past 30 years. Their first win came for Best Classical Album of the Year in 1982 for "Ravel: Daphnis et Chloe" and their most recent win was in 2012. Incidentally, every one of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra's Juno wins have been in the category of Classical Album of the Year.
Inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame last year, this roots-rock institution has earned 12 Juno Awards since 1989. Oddly enough, when the band was coming off the biggest selling album of their career, "Five Days In July," the group did not win the awards for Best Video ("Bad Timing") and Album of the Year ("Five Days In July") at the 1995 Junos. Not surprisingly, the band's spirited performance of their classic hit "Lost Together" at last year's Juno Awards proves, beyond reasonable doubt, why they are one of Canada's best live bands.
While they might be one of the most despised bands in rock music today, there can be no denying that Nickelback is also one of the most successful ones. Here at home, the group has brought home a dozen Juno Awards in the categories of Group of the Year and Album of the Year. The group was also received the Juno Fan Choice Award in 2004 and 2009, proving that for every hater of the band, there are far more people that support them.
One of Canada's most politically outspoken musicians also happens to be one of the Junos most celebrated artists. At this weekend's ceremony, Cockburn will be crowned the 2013 Juno Awards Sustainability Ambassador, tasked with helping the Junos raise awareness about actions being taken to reduce their carbon footprint. Cockburn has long been concerned with the environment, having taking public stances on pollution, native rights, land mines and Third World debt. Bruce Cockburn was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2001.
Considering that Michael Buble made his major label debut in 2003, he has racked up an impressive amount of Juno Awards over the past decade. Later this year, Buble will be adding the title of father to his resume, but in the meantime, expect some good laughs when he hosts this year's Juno Awards. Buble should prove to be a great Juno Awards host as he has a wicked sense of humour, as evidenced by his backstage shenanigans with Russell Peters in 2009. http://youtu.be/uselT5gCz5o
It might be 24 years since he won his last Juno Award, but that doesn't mean folk artist Murray McLauchlan isn't well-liked by the Junos. After his first Juno Award in 1974 for his track "Farmer's Song" (Folk Single of the Year), McLauchlan has won the Country Male Vocalist of the Year category on seven different occasions. McLauchlan's four other Junos come from the categories of Folksinger of the Year, Best Songwriter and Folk Single of the Year.
Feist's initial pair of Juno wins in 2005 would prove to be the calm before the storm. For just a few years later, riding high on the success of her internationally acclaimed album "The Reminder," she walked away with five Juno awards including Artist of the Year and Album of the Year. After being presented her Juno Award for Single of the Year by fellow Albertan Corb Lund, Feist amusingly read her acceptance speech off her arm.
B-B-B-Baby, Randy B-B-B-Bachman has been the recipient of almost a dozen Juno Awards thanks to his work with two legendary Canadian groups: The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive. The Guess Who were awarded the Top Vocal Instrumental Group in 1970 and 1971 and were subsequently inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1987. BTO then claims the balance of Bachman's Juno collection including awards for Group of the Year (1975, 1976) as well as a pair of awards for Best Selling Album ("Not Fragile," 1975 & "Four Wheel Drive," 1976).
Victoria, B.C. sweetheart Nelly Furtado struck Juno gold early in her career, bringing home an impressive four trophies in 2001. After earning Single of the Year for "Powerless" in 2004, Furtado's international success with her 2007 dance-oriented album "Loose" earned her another five awards including Juno Fan Choice, Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Single of the Year ("Promiscuous") and Pop Album of the Year. In addition to sweeping the 2007 Junos, Furtado also served as the show's host.
Founded in 1979, Tafelmusik Baroque Chamber Orchestra is one of Canada's longest-running classical acts. With the exception of the 2006 Juno Award for Children's Album of the Year for "Baroque Adventure: The Quest For Arundo Donax," each of the orchestra's other wins have been in the realm of Classical Album of the Year.
Interestingly, Neil Young had never won a Juno Award prior to being inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1982. In fact, Young's first Juno Award win was for Album of the Year in 1994 for "Harvest Moon." Since then, Young has twice won Adult Alternative Album of the Year, Producer of the Year and Artist of the Year in addition to having been awarded the Allan Water Humanitarian Award in 2011. The latter is a much deserved honour considering Young's history of having co-founded Farm Aid as well as his annual Bridge School benefit concerts.
Rush's first Juno Award win for Most Promising Group of the Year in 1975 also proved to be prophetic. Although they have never been commercial darlings, Rush is beloved by fans all around the world, having been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1994. They go into the Junos this weekend with a pair of nominations to complement the other eight Junos already in their arsenal -- not to mention this week's induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. When the group won the 1991 Juno for Best Hard Rock / Metal Album ("Presto"), it ended a 12-year Juno-less drought for the band.
Sarah McLachlan's history with the Juno Awards has been infrequent at best. She first won in 1992 for Best Video ("Into The Fire") but it would be until 1998 that she would win again. Mind you, she took home four awards that year, no doubt buoyed by the international success of her 1997 album "Surfacing." She went into the 2011 Junos with a trio of nominations for her "Laws of Illusion" album but she's not taken a Juno Award home since 2004.

Excerpt: "Brandon Jacobs return to the Giants certainly hasn't gone the way he dreamed it would, but he has no regrets and hes not giving up. Hes even making the cross-country flight with the Giants on Saturday, despite being doubtful for Sundays game.
The 31-year-old running back may still miss the game against the Chargers, of course. And if he does, itll be the second straight game hes missed and the fifth since he re-signed with the Giants in Week 2. Its even possible he wont be able to play again this season.
But Jacobs said last week hes not ready to shut it down.
Im going to go out a soldier and Im going to go out fighting. Thats just it, he said. Theyre going to have to drag me through the dirt. Just put me in a body bag and ship me home. Thats it. But do it after the battle is fought.
Jacobs, in his return from his one-year exile in San Francisco, has rushed just 58 times in seven games with the Giants for 238 yards and four touchdowns. The highlight came on Oct. 10 in Chicago when he rushed 22 times for 106 yards and two touchdowns in the Giants loss to the Bears.
The price of that was high, though, because he pulled his hamstring and missed the next three games, before wear and tear set in on his knee. Jacobs has carried only 14 times since then though he did rush nine times for 75 yards in a loss to the Cowboys two weeks ago. He said the knee will have to be surgically cleaned out this offseason, though he insisted its fixable. Read more...

Blogger in Singapore faces financial ruin following defamation suit
"If we want our freedom, we have to fight for it," wrote blogger Roy Ngerng last year after he was sued for defamation by Singapore's prime minister. The case was sparked by a blog post in which Ngerng allegedly suggested Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong had misappropriated funds in a state pension system. In November, the court ruled in favor of the prime minister.

(trazodone HCl)
Antidepressants increase the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in short-term studies in children and adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of DESYREL (trazodone hydrochloride) or any other antidepressant in a child or adolescent must balance this risk with the clinical need. Patients who are started on therapy should be observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. DESYREL (trazodone hydrochloride) is not approved for use in pediatric patients. (See WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS: Pediatric Use).
Pooled analyses of short-term (4 to 16 weeks) placebo-controlled trials of 9 antidepressant drugs (SSRIs and others) in children and adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), or other psychiatric disorders (a total of 24 trials involving over 4400 patients) have revealed a greater risk of adverse events representing suicidal thinking or behavior (suicidality) during the first few months of treatment in those receiving antidepressants. The average risk of such events in patients receiving antidepressants was 4%, twice the placebo risk of 2%. No suicides occurred in these trials.
DESYREL (trazodone hydrochloride) is an antidepressant chemically unrelated to tricyclic, tetracyclic, or other known antidepressant agents. Trazodone hydrochloride is a triazolopyridine derivative designated as 2-[3-[4-(3-chlorophenyl)-1-piperazinyl]propyl]-1,2,4- triazolo[4,3-a]pyridin-3(2H)-one hydrochloride. It is a white, odorless, crystalline powder which is freely soluble in water. Its molecular weight is 408.3. The empirical formula is C19H22ClN5O•HCl and the structural formula is represented as follows:
DESYREL (trazodone hydrochloride) is supplied for oral administration in 50 mg, 100 mg, 150 mg, and 300 mg tablets.
DESYREL (trazodone hydrochloride) Tablets, 150 mg, contain the following inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, FD&C Yellow No. 6 (aluminum lake), magnesium stearate, pregelatinized starch, and stearic acid.
DESYREL (trazodone hydrochloride) Tablets, 300 mg, contain the following inactive ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, yellow ferric oxide, magnesium stearate, sodium starch glycolate, pregelatinized starch, and stearic acid.
What are the possible side effects of trazodone (Desyrel, Oleptro)?
Stop taking trazodone and call your doctor at once if you have a penis erection that is painful or lasts 6 hours or longer. This is a medical emergency and could lead to a serious condition that must be corrected with surgery.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have any new or worsening symptoms such as: mood or behavior changes, anxiety, panic attacks, trouble sleeping, or if you feel impulsive, irritable,...

Black cats are the best! I have two black cats I fostered that were not adopted. Some people are superstitious and some prefer a tabby or a spotted cat. Rose sounds like a sweetheart. Give a black cat a chance and you won't be sorry. Be sure to keep her indoors.

|Calendar updated
Our nice studio is the ideal accommodation for a pleasant stay. Its high ceilings and its large volumes make it both bright and cozy. It can receive 2 people, has a living-room/kitchen, a bathroom and a loft with bed. It is also very well fitted: security door, double glazed window, well-equipped kitchen (plates, fridge, microwave), washing machine, LCD TV, Wi-Fi, etc.. Linen, towels, water, electricity and heating are all included in the price.
Forget about your car! The apartment is located a few steps away from the main avenue (1 minute), shopping (1 minute), the basilica Notre Dame (3 minutes), the pedestrian zone (13 minutes), the old town (14 minutes), the famous Promenade des Anglais (16 minutes), the beach (16 minutes) and so many other pretty places. Whether you are looking for traditional or modern restaurants, shopping, nightlife, beach, walk on the beach or cultural tours, everything is within walking distance! (see photos and google map)
Close by you'll find many renting car agencies along with several public stations of the city hall for renting bikes and cars (the so-called "vélos et autos bleus"). In addition, because the main avenue is well served, visiting all our magnificent Nice and its beautiful surroundings (the extravagant Monaco, the luxurious Cannes, the authentic Antibes, the charming Grasse, the Italian border etc..) by train, car, tram or bus, is nice and easy!
Discover our charming neighborhood and our splendid city under the sun rays that daily offers the French Riviera. We rent several apartments in Nice and are very responsive to our guests questions. It is always a pleasure for us to receive people from all over the world.
The apartment is easily accessible by most means of transport:
By plane, take bus 23 (33 minutes) or 99 (27 minutes) towards the stop "Gare Sncf".
By train from the central station (Gare Sncf), walk 400 meters (5 minutes).
By car, take exit "Thiers" from the city's internal fast lane (voie Mathis).
Last but not least, various public parking facilities (and also streets with free parking spots) are close by.
Whenever possible, we will try our best to adapt ourselves to your requests. Do not hesitate to contact us! With the hope that our apartment will allow you to make the most of our "bella Nizza", we are looking forward meeting you!
숙소규정Security Deposit: 150€
Pets are very welcome with prior agreement.
We will directly meet at the apartment. The exact arrival times and departure will be agreed in advance. Arrivals are preferably after 5 pm, and departures are preferably before 10 am. When possible, you will be able to leave your luggage.
Please take into account that, as we want you to have a spotless apartment on arrival (and not clean as the previous guests intend), cleaning is a mandatory additional fee for everybody and is made by professionals after each stay. All other expenses are included. The balance and refundable deposit are to be provided before entering the flat.

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Was a wonderfull, good located Location to Stay and the Host was very friendly !
It seemed all to easy. The price was right, the apartment was spacy, realy nice and confortable. It was perfectly in the middle of the storic centre. And what was so easy: on our departure, we could just leave our keys of the appartment on the table. Great. We'll be back soon !!!
Philippe Saenen
I Wish all flats would be like this one
and every owner would be like Salvatore.:)
Charming apartment, great design, you feel like being home.
Everything you can imagine is there, all the facilities.
The location is great, you have old town with all
Beautiful streets and restaurants all over,
You have a flower market and fruits just in front of the house,
Beach is 5 minute walk.
The best flat I have ever had.
Salvatore is so polite and helpful, answers all the questions
Within minutes.
The only bad thing you have to leave for home.
Thank you so much, Salvatore
Great apartment with the best view of the ocean and a friendly staff welcoming their guests. The only downside was that they don't have a system to take care of guests luggage after checkout time at 10am. If your flight is later but still want to have a relaxed day before the flight, you must find lockers for a fee in the city or the airport (14 euros per bag in Terminal 2 or 1 euro per hour in the city). It should be included for the money spent. Other than that, great place.
The location was perfect, the apartment was clean, modern and excellently located. There are many restaurants in the area and the beach is just 2 minutes away from the apartment.
Unfortunately the apartment wasn't prepared (even though he asked me how many people I would travel with) - the bedding had to be done by us, which was quite annoying because that way we couldn't lay down, we were too exhausted from our trip to Nice. There is NO Air Condition, even though it was listed in the facilities-list. It tends to get really hot during the day, but at night it's quite okay if you leave the windows open and the fans running all the night.
Nice place for a family witht 4 people
Salvatore was very helpful to us during our stay and the apartment was very well planned. It's really close to gare SNCF, the shopping street jean-medecin and just a 10 min walk to the beach.
A great place to stay - a little away from the main action in Nice but everything is close by when using the buses. Catch a bus to the in train station and before you know it you can be in Cannes, Monaco and beyond.
Balcony views across the harbour are fantastic and well worth the price - several evenings were spent with a few drinks and some cheese watching the world pass by and the waves lap at the shore.
Some excellent nearby eateries (and supermarkets) as well.
Highly recommended for a relaxing getaway.
It was a Perfect stay. The Apartment was very clean. Thank you for The Great tips about The City of nice

Tourette's Disorder
Topic Overview
What is Tourette's disorder?
Tourette's disorder is a brain condition that starts in childhood. Children with Tourette's make sounds or movements—such as coughing or twitching—that they can't control. These are called tics.
Tics usually start at about age 2. They may be at their worst by age 12. Tics tend to decrease during teenage years. They can continue into adulthood but occur less often and are less severe than in childhood.
What causes Tourette's disorder?
Tourette's tends to run in families. Other things that may increase the risk include:
What are the symptoms?
Most children with Tourette's have different patterns of tics. The tics may not be obvious. They can be bursts of movement or sounds that last for seconds or minutes.
Tics can include:
It's common for a person who has Tourette's to feel an urge in some part of the body that builds and builds. This urge can only be relieved by performing the tic. But not everyone with the disorder is aware of these urges.
How is Tourette's disorder diagnosed?
A doctor can diagnose Tourette's based on your child's medical history and symptoms. The doctor may want to know if tics are causing school or social problems for your child.
There are no tests to diagnose Tourette's. But in some cases an electroencephalogram (EEG), a CT scan, or blood tests may be done to check for other health problems. Your doctor may also check for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), or other learning or behavior problems. These problems sometimes occur along with Tourette's disorder.
How is it treated?
Treatment for Tourette's disorder focuses on helping your child cope with the tics. Understanding how tics affect your child can help you and your child know what to expect. It may help to identify when tics occur and what is going on in your child's life during those times.
If tics are seriously affecting your child's quality of life at home or school, then counseling, behavioral therapy to reduce tics (habit reversal), and medicines may help. If your child has other medical problems, these may need to be treated first to see how they affect your child's symptoms.
What can you expect when your child has Tourette's?
Despite what you might have seen in movies or on TV, most people with Tourette's disorder don't have uncontrollable outbursts of cursing or sexual behavior.
As your child ages, the pattern of tics can change. Tics may come and go over weeks and months. They may also change from one kind to another. Tics may get worse and then get better. Your child may get a new tic, or an old one may come back.
Tics may get worse for no reason. Your child may try to suppress tics, which may make them last longer or be worse than at other times. They may also get worse when your child is ill, under stress, or excited.
Having Tourette's doesn't have to mean that your child will have social problems or trouble in school. You can help your child learn to cope with tics. Start by learning more about Tourette's and being supportive at home. Work with your child's teachers so they can understand how tics affect your child.

Whataburger to Celebrate Local Heroes with Facebook Contest
SAN ANTONIO – Dec. 3, 2012 – This holiday season, Whataburger will honor a series of "Hometown Heroes" who give back to their communities. Honorees will be treated to a hearty breakfast for themselves and 20 of his or her closest friends. Beginning today, Whataburger Facebook fans are invited to nominate everyday unsung heroes who are making a difference in their local community and deserve to be recognized.
The hero could be anyone who makes an effort to help others, such as a baseball coach who takes the time to – not only coach – but mentor his players on life's little challenges, a teacher who goes above and beyond her duties by tutoring kids free of charge after school hours, a volunteer who always makes time to help others in need, or a single parent who works two jobs to send his or her kids to college. Selection will be based on the compelling story and why that person is considered an unsung hero.
Whataburger will accept nominations for these unsung heroes via a special tab on its Facebook page through Friday, Dec. 21, and a Hometown Hero will be selected and announced every week through Friday, Dec. 28. The selected Hometown Heroes will each receive a breakfast party for up to 20 guests at his or her neighborhood Whataburger.
"We have some of the most generous fans and customers who are more than worthy of being recognized for their community contributions - even though they are always more than happy to do what they do with no recognition at all," said Pam Cox, group director of communications for Whataburger. "We are excited to have the chance to honor a few of the amazing, everyday heroes in our local communities who you might not see in the local newspaper, but deserve to be celebrated for what they do to help others."
In addition to this Hometown Hero Facebook initiative, Whataburger supports the communities it serves through charitable giving and volunteerism to a number of nonprofit organizations that focus on children's charities, cancer research, hunger assistance, disaster relief and military support.

text: Thank you for having the DJ challenge again. I've always wanted to make one. These blocks are so addictive, I'm loving it!! The only problem I'm having is the 1/4" seam. I have a Viking Designer 1, can select 1/4" but it seems to be a little more generous, blocks are ending up about 1/8" short. This never seemed to be a problem when making all the other quilts that I have done. So I had to redo a couple after adjusting my seam allowance. I'm loving the PP blocks and am jumping ahead and doing some of the easy appliqued blocks. I'll send some pictures when I learn how to load them to my laptop.

Arts off 84 features 62 artists in 8 sites
Labor Day weekend brought the sixth annual Arts Off 84 Art Crawl back to the Pine River area.
There were 62 artists featured at the art walk this year, with arts ranging from knitted rugs, herbal soaps and handmade dolls, to paintings and homemade jellies. There were familiar businesses at the event such as Brambleberry Farms and All Things Herbal, as well as many others.
Arts Off 84 stretched along Highway 84 out of Pine River starting at The Warehouse and ending near Longville. This trek was roughly 25 miles long. The event, which took place Aug. 31 and Aug. 1, was threatened by violent storms Saturday afternoon. Listening to severe weather warnings on the radio and watching dark clouds to the north, some artists set up outdoors were forced to close up shop a few minutes early.
