ETS Launches Informational Website for the Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators® (GACE®) Program
08 Jul, 2013, 13:14 ET from Educational Testing Service
Registration for GACE® Assessments Opens August 19, 2013
PRINCETON, N.J., July 8, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Educational Testing Service (ETS) website for the Georgia Assessments for the Certification of Educators® (GACE®) program is the new location for program-related information and updates, test-taker account management, and more. The GACE program helps the Georgia Professional Standards Commission (GaPSC) meet its goal of ensuring that educator candidates meet required standards before receiving their educator certification.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120110/DC33419LOGO)
"The GACE program will consist of an array of brand-new assessments that are aligned with state and national standards for educator preparation and with Georgia state standards for the P–12 student curriculum — the Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS)," explains Kelly Henson, Executive Secretary of the GaPSC. "With the launch of the new website, ETS and GaPSC have achieved an important milestone in the realization of our vision."
The new GACE website, found at www.gace.ets.org, offers a wide variety of resources related to the GACE program for both program providers and educator certification candidates. Resources include information about the assessments; test preparation tips and materials such as study companions, study plans, videos, live webinars (starting in September), and interactive practice tests (starting in August); and downloadable program documents, including the GACE® Registration Bulletin.
"We understand how busy educators are, and how important it is that candidates and program providers are able to quickly find the information that is important to them," says George Powell, Vice President and COO of Teacher Licensure & Certification Programs at ETS. "We therefore conducted usability studies during the design process to ensure that the interface is as intuitive as possible."
In addition to the website, customer service support, including online chat, is available to test takers. Live workshops are being offered this summer to support faculty and program providers, and a newsletter and online workshop will be available in September. Program providers can find additional information specifically for them at www.gace.ets.org/program_providers.
Registration for the new program opens on August 19. At that time, candidates will be able to create their testing accounts, register online and print their admission tickets. They will also be able to view their scores for any ETS-delivered GACE test; the first administration will occur on October 5, 2013.
For more information please visit www.gace.ets.org.

text: 1996 Chevy Silverado K1500 4WD, 5.0 WILL crank, but will not start. No fuel pump noise when key turned on. Now I recognize a quick diagnosis would be that the fuel pump is the culprit, but keep reading. When key is turned on, none of the normal starting lights come on (check engine light, airbag, and batt). With the key in the "on" position, none of the gauges seemed to be powered -- fuel quantity, oil, and batt voltage (only the gear indicator is illuminated (P)). Though when key is moved to ignition, engine cranks normally -- won't start though. Radio, fans, windows, all accessories also work. When key is moved, no clicking is heard from any of relays under hood. All fuses checked good. There is a history of the common fuel pump problem (engine quits unexpectedly -- 3X in two years), but problem seems to resolve itself in a 24 hour period (in one case after a tow), so I really question whether it is the fuel pump. Seems to be more inline with the starting sequence logic, perhaps VCM/PCM/ECM? Any help would be greatly appreciated

So anyone serious about making a GOOD mead (not a 5 month rot-gut sweet 5th century beverage) has read most of the books out there on mead making...and as you have surely read the brewmaster should use a nice light honey. HOG WASH. What I am about to tell you may shock you (snicker snicker). Dark honeys make a nicer drier mead.....in my all knowing opinion () Largely in part due to fructose. Darker honeys (GENERALY) have a greater fructose/glucose combo. In my experience fermantaion happens a greater prolonged rate with these darker honeys and tends to be very nice in about 15 months. In addition, (this is really going to piss the hippies off) try using burned honey, like the stuff you get when you are melting cappings and forget the heat was on becase you were drinking too much mead. Ooops guess I'll have to make another batch.
Seriously, I have been enjoying experimenting with burned honey meads. I accidently left a few jars of nice light clover in a car for half the summer. They looked like buckwheat. The following recipe yielded a remarkable mead:
5 Gal batch
8lbs Accidently burnt clover honey.
Boil 3 1/2 gal water
2 grapefruit peeled and mushed
1 packed Pasture Champane yeast
Pour honey in primary, pour water over honey, mix without burning yourself, add grapefruit, add cool water to complete 5 gal. pitch yeast when temp is at 85 degrees or so. Air lock, rerack after two weeks again at 6 weeks, again at 12 weeks, bottle at 4-5 months, age in a cool cellar for 10 to 18 months
I know you don't believe me but just try it. And if you really aren't into longterm mead bondage it will be very drinkable after 8 months from brewing.

Election Day has arrived! Catch up on the best of SNL's political sketches.
Saturday Night Live | Video
I'm a Star Wars!!! Updated
From Academy Award-winning Executive Producer Brian Grazer, "The Playboy Club" is a provocative new NBC drama about a time and place that challenged the existing social mores and transformed American culture forever. It's the early 1960s, and at the center of Chicago lies the legendary and seductive Playboy Club, a living, breathing fantasy world filled with $1.50 cocktails, music, glitter and of course, beautiful Bunnies. The key to the club, which offers the ultimate in beauty, is the most sought-after status symbol of its time. But all that glitters isn't gold, and in the back rooms and alleys behind the club, life happens - both good and bad . .
Nick Dalton (Eddie Cibrian, "CSI: Miami," "Third Watch") is the ultimate playboy and one of the city's top attorneys, rubbing elbows with everyone in the Windy City's power structure. With mysterious and complicated ties to the mob, he comes to the aid of Maureen (Amber Heard, "Zombieland," "Pineapple Express"), the stunning and innocent new Bunny at the club, who accidentally kills the patriarch of the Bianchi crime family. Dating Nick is Carol-Lynne (Laura Benanti, "Take the Lead," "Eli Stone"), a bombshell of a beauty and an established star at the Playboy Club who's ready to be more than a Bunny. As she seeks an opportunity to elevate her stature even higher at the club, she can't help but notice that something is developing between Nick and Maureen. Adding to the charm of the club is Janie (Jenna Dewan Tatum, "American Virgin," "Step Up"), the foxy and carefree life of the party who is dating Max (Wes Ramsey, "CSI: Miami," "Dracula's Guest"), a sweet and romantic bartender. Brenda (Naturi Naughton, "Lottery Ticket," "Fame"), a stunning beauty with a dry wit, has big aspirations. Bunny Alice (Leah Renee, "True Confessions of a Hollywood Starlet") manages to take care of everyone but herself, and while married, is hiding a huge secret from everyone. Pearl (Jenifer Lewis, "Strong Medicine," "What's Love Got To Do With It") is the club's seamstress who's been there since day one and knows more about what it takes to survive than anyone. Running the club and answering only to the top is general manager Billy Morton (David Krumholtz, "Numb3rs," "Superbad"), who also shares a close friendship with Nick. With all of these larger-than-life ambitions, there are even greater secrets. It's a good thing Hef's Playboy Mansion is open after hours for a little R&R - and burying your past.
In addition to Grazer, executive producers include Chad Hodge ("Runaway," "Tru Calling"), Francie Calfo ("Scoundrels"), Jason Burns ("The House Bunny," "The Girls Next Door"), Dick Rosenzweig ("The House Bunny," "The Girls Next Door") and Ian Biederman ("Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"). Hodge also wrote the pilot, which was directed by Alan Taylor ("Mad Men," "The Sopranos").

I also posted in Beekeeping 101 about picking up my own packages. Long story short. Does it pay to travel from No. Idaho to California to pick up my own packages instead of just buying them around here. I usually buy packages and nucs in smaller quantities but thought it might be better to buy about 20 pkgs direct from a supplier in CA (Koehnen?) along with some extra queens. I could drive to valley in about 15 hours, stay with a niece a couple of days, and then pick up pkgs early and head back home. What considerations do I figure in for keeping bees alive? I would be in my GMC pickup with a secure cloth bed cover over them. I thought controlling the transport would be advantageous along with a possible cost saving. What do you think?
Thanks in advance.

Mayor Bach talks water money
Stormwater funds are needed
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The City of Colorado Springs held a press conference on Thursday morning to discuss the aftermath of the hail storm that ravaged the area Wednesday night.
Mayor Steve Bach called the massive storm a "once in 100-year storm." The Mayor said there were 21 home rescues and 25 car rescues throughout the course of the evening. No one was injured or killed in the storm and Mayor Bach says everything worked the way it should to keep people safe.
Although there were no personal injuries, property damage is a issue many have to deal with on Thursday. Some basements were flooded with 5-8 feet of water. The hardest-hit areas include neighborhoods around the Citadel Mall. Mayor Bach says he will personally tour those areas.

Butter Free Puff Pastry
Has anyone got a recipe for rough puff pastry which contains no butter? I know it sounds like a contradiction so let me explain.
I was in Sainsburys the other day and picked up a block of their pre-rolled puff pastry. To my surprise there was no mention of butter in the ingredients. I emailed the company to confirm this and yes there was no butter used!
The fact that there was no butter in the product actually pleased me because it means I can now give my colleague apple turnover when he visits next. I would normally just have an apple tart for him.
Butter, as you all know, has become pretty expensive these days and if I could use a ruff puff pastry for my pies etc it surely would cut the price down and maybe help make the pastry that little bit quicker.

Re: Butter Free Puff Pastry
Butter free puff pastry ?
Maybe you could use a margarine ,or, even half butter and half marg' , but its the butter that gives the flavour , if it was me.. I would spend the extra cash and go for butter , mince pies are not eaten all year round and they have to taste good.
Do you always shop in the same supermarket each ime of can yo get to others to look around for offers.

Re: Butter Free Puff Pastry
I think a lot of commercial puff pastry uses margarine or shortening.
The one and only time I made puff pastry was in school, and we used half butter, half Cookeen, which is a hard vegetable shortening like Trex or Crisco. I don't know if they were saving money or if the harder fat gave a better texture. I know shortcrust is better made with lard or shortening than with butter.

Quite right been lazy I suppose
Here is a list of the ingredients. Wheat flour, water, vegetable oils (rapeseed, palm), palm fats, salt,preservative,potassium, sorbate,emulsiffer: mono and diglcerides of fatty acids. (hope I've read the ingredients properly, small print and bad eyes )
When you see the list of ingredients then is it any wonder I'd like to make the pastry myself!!!

Re: Butter Free Puff Pastry
If you were to make ruff puff pastry with margarine, it would have to be a hard margarine. But, if you want the taste of butter, and your friend is prepared to try some beforehand, you could President butter, which is made from fermented cream (creme fraiche), and which has much less lactose in it as a result. My lactose-intolerant husband seems to be fine eating it ... It certainly tastes much better than margarine, and gives a much better texture, too.

Re: Butter Free Puff Pastry
Sorry I always still think of margarine as the blocks of hard margarine.
I always think of the soft stuff in tubs as 'spread' .
That's interesting what you say about the president butter , I had not realised that .
I have some in the fridge at the moment but its the spreadable pot rather than the block. I have not tried it yet .

Re: Butter Free Puff Pastry
oliviascotland, thanks for the info about creme fraiche having much less lactose, didn't know that. I'll certainly pass the info on but knowing my friend he is VERY cautious about what he eats.
The Presidents butter does not appear to be on sale here in Northern Ireland, at least not in my local supermarkets.

Re: Butter Free Puff Pastry
There are mainly 2 reasons that the industry mostly don't use butter in puff pastry (unless the package says so to add value of course):
- Milk fat is expensive: more expensive than most fats from vegetable origin.
- Milk fat is not the ideal fat for making puff pastry: Although there are a few techniques for making puff pastry it all comes down to this: between the various dough layers there is a very thin layer of fat. This fat keeps the various layers of dough 'apart' enabling a nice puffing during baking. So what you want is NOT TO BREAK this very thin fat layer. Butter 'breaks' / spreads easily uneven while making puff pastry dough. Therefore the best fat for industrial puff pastry is actually quite hard and kneadable. It doesnt feel fatty and it's texture is well... more like clay. With this fat you can make very thin WHOLE layers of fat between the dough layers.

Hello to all...
For mothers day last year I got my wife a hive. (It's actually mine since I maintain it.) we got about 47 lbs of honey!
Anyway, we just came out of some brutally cold weather, and I was told I should put my top section feeder on in case they went through the full super I left on for them. I mixed 5lbs of sugar to 2 pitchers water on each side of the feeder.
Lots of bees. On warmer days, they clean house and carry out dead.
Anything I can do besides keep the feeder full? When do you swap the first super and the brooder? When do you put your first honey super on? I do not use an excluder.
When should I check in there deeper and what's the first thing to check on? They sure seem healthy. We had a strong hive last year. Good numbers.
Thanks, Tim

God missing from Fremont County park
FREMONT COUNTY, Colo. - Commissioners say they've been flooded with calls from concerned citizens since the word God was removed from an "In God We Trust" display.
The display is located at Fremont County War Memorial Park.
The letters were temporarily removed to be refurbished.
The display is being adorned with thousands of pennies. Each penny represents an American soldier who died in the Vietnam War.
Fremont County airport manager Richard Baker told the Commissioners this week that he has been getting an average of four inquiries daily since the letters were removed to have the pennies attached. Baker says that one tourist from Alabama stopped recently and went on a tirade about the missing letters. Baker said the man was still angry even after receiving an explanation.
The War Memorial Park Committee has informed the Commissioners that the fabrication work is nearly complete and the letters should be back in place in a matter of days.
District 3 Commissioner Ed Norden noted that the attention paid to the missing letters provides the county with an opportunity to make another appeal for more pennies. Project managers say they need another 300 pennies dated 1966, and another 4,000 pennies each from the years 1967 and 1968.
Anyone who has pennies with those dates can drop them in the donation box located at the Fremont County Clerk's Office at the County Administration Building at 615 Macon Avenue in Cañon City.

In addition, Bob has a picture of him and his neighbor who went to the Olympics who supposedly endorses him. Pathetic.

Yes, why it's almost tantamount to treason. Or at least mAnn Coulter's definition of the word. How dare they penetrate your private premises for such nefarious and criminal activity? They should be thrown in jail for life. Or at least 13 years. Surely they can afford pricey television commercials on channel 71 like Miss Morgan. What's with this budget Kinko's paper spam?
They certainly should not be out with their paper graffiti, trolling parking lots. This is far, far worse than paving over our hillsides, cutting off trail access, violating measures that Danville citizens voted 75% in favor of, killing off native wildlife, clogging roadways, and generally ugly'ing the town. You're right Rhonda Maroon, it's simply the lowest most devious thing I have ever heard of!

I am with you Derek...One thing about Renee though, before she left the San Ramon T-Birds Cheer program in a hissy fit to go to Walnut Creek Marauders her boyfriend was the best Elvis Impersonator I have seen. It was his whole life and he was GOOD...He would even come to the T-Bird games in his costume...we never hired him for our parties in spite of his efforts.

I know her a little bit, but I didn't know about the Cheer thing. Do you mean cheerleading? Was she doing the rah-rah's? I didn't think she had a younger daughter. I think her son is in football if I remember right.

Cold Blood (TV story)
Cold Blood was the ninth episode of the fifth series of BBC Wales Doctor Who. It was written by Chris Chibnall and was the second part of a two-part story that featured the return of the Silurians and the death of recurring companion Rory Williams, which soon escalated further to total erasure from existence after a crack in time consumed his body. Once more, the Doctor is seen trying to bring about a peaceful solution to a conflict between Silurians and humans. In this case, a rogue Silurian is responsible for the breakdown of trust, as is just one human.
Synopsis Edit
Once more the Eleventh Doctor meets members of the Silurian race. However, this time, can he prevent them from being destroyed by humanity out of an act of self-presevation, or can he broker peace between them and bring about a better future for both races of planet Earth?
In the meantime, there are other questions that are left unanswered: Can Ambrose be trusted to keep Alaya alive? What is happening to Tony Mack's wound? Are the Silurians responsible for the empty graves? And what awaits Mo and Amy when a Silurian doctor is eager to see what makes them tick?
Plot Edit
The Eleventh Doctor and Nasreen enter the Silurian city. A curious Nasreen wonders how any of the vegetation and the city itself could be there, being so far beneath the Earth. The Doctor explains that the city and the vegetation are fueled by thermal energy and most of the Silurians are hibernating in suspended animation. Nasreen wonders if waltzing straight into the city is a good idea as the Doctor assures her that the "front door approach" is always the best idea. An alarm goes off, announcing hostile life forms entering the city. Shocked at being called hostile, the Doctor admits that the "front door approach" may not have been the best idea. They turn to leave, but Silurian soldiers arrive and hold them at gunpoint. The Doctor tells them they are not hostile, but the Silurians knock them out with gas.
Amy and Mo are strapped to surgical operating tables in a Silurian surgery. The Silurian surgeon, Malohkeh, is getting ready to dissect Amy. He removes his mask and tightens Amy's straps. He then takes the scalpel and begins to put it in Amy's chest, but is called away to examine the Doctor and Nasreen. Amy, who has sneaked the remote controlling the surgical tables from the surgeon, releases Mo and herself and they escape into the city. While searching for a means of returning to the surface, they find Elliot, trapped in suspended animation, but alive.
The Doctor and Nasreen are strapped to tables in a separate laboratory and forcibly scanned; while Nasreen is complacent, the Doctor cries out in pain. Malohkeh converses with Commander Restac, wondering if there has been any word from Alaya. When Restac briskly responds in the negative, Malohkeh assures her that it is all right to show some emotion as they are from the same genetic line. Malohkeh begins to decontaminate the Doctor and Nasreen; again, the Doctor cries out, begging Malohkeh to stop. Because the Doctor is not human, the decontamination process affects him differently — not only does it cause him severe pain, but it removes all of the bacteria keeping him alive. Against Restac's wishes, Malohkeh agrees to halt the process after seeing an internal scan shows he is not human. He informs a curious Doctor that the drill was threatening the city's oxygen pockets. The Doctor reveals they have Alaya — also determining from Restac's reaction that Restac and Alaya are related — and assures the Silurians she is safe. Restac, however, is less inclined to negotiate, and orders the execution of Nasreen and the Doctor out of spite.
On the surface, Tony approaches Alaya for help in curing the venomous sting on his shoulder, promising to release her if she can do something for him. Alaya refuses and amuses herself by having Tony describe what the venom's effect feels like. Ambrose eventually learns of Tony's injury and Alaya's refusal to help. She angrily confronts the Silurian, threatening her with a taser. Alaya encourages her to use it, which she does; on the second shot, Alaya collapses as Tony and Rory arrive, and she dies in Rory's arms. They both become angry with Ambrose because she killed their only bargaining chip to get their loved ones back. Ambrose expresses remorse for what she's done.
Restac and Malohkeh lead the two prisoners to the city's execution chamber, flanked by Silurian warriors. The Doctor explains the nature of the Silurians' hibernation to Nasreen: centuries before, their astronomers predicted a planet was on a crash course for Earth, so they hibernated below the surface to avoid the catastrophe. The planet was, in fact, the moon coming into alignment. Malohkeh is impressed with the Doctor's knowledge of their race, prompting the Doctor to reveal that he'd previously met another branch of them. He is less excited to inform Malohkeh and Restac that branch was killed by the humans, reigniting Restac's rage. Once inside the execution chamber, Mo and Amy appear, brandishing guns they have taken from sleeping Silurian warriors, with the intention of rescuing the Doctor. Restac swiftly disarms Amy, forcing their surrender. The two are added to the procession. When Malohkeh protests, Restac dismisses him.
On the surface, Rory and Tony berate Ambrose for what she has done to Alaya. Suddenly, Restac's face appears on the screen of a deactivated computer monitor in the church cellar. She has somehow manipulated the monitor to address the humans and negotiate Alaya's return. Though the Doctor orders Ambrose to let Rory handle the situation, she steps in and declares she has had enough of the Silurians' orders. She refuses to return Alaya unless Restac releases her family. Angered, Restac orders the first execution: Amy. The computer monitor goes dark, but before the Silurian warriors can fire, their leader, Eldane, arrives with Malohkeh and countermands the order. He dismisses Restac and her warriors. The Doctor, realising his chances of negotiating have been reignited, resumes communications with his companions on the surface, ordering them to bring Alaya down via the Silurian transport pods in the mine store room. Reaching the mine, Ambrose encourages Tony to reactivate the drill on a timer in case things go wrong.
The Doctor appoints Nasreen and Amy as the ambassadors for humanity and allows them to talk to Eldane. Meanwhile, he and Mo are led by Malohkeh to the stasis chamber where Elliot is being kept. Malohkeh explains that he doesn't dissect children, but slows their growth so that he can study how they develop and grow. The boy is released and the Doctor apologises for putting him in harm's way. Elliot happily forgives him. The Doctor, Mo and Elliot return to the negotations, but Malohkeh opts to stay behind to check something. He discovers Restac has awoken more of her warriors to stage a coup, but is killed by her before he can warn the others.
Amy, Nasreen and Eldane talk about how the Silurians might be able to live alongside humans. Amy proposes using areas of the Earth uninhabitable to humans as new habitats for the Silurians. With the promise of a place to live, Eldane insists his race can bring new technology and resources. As the meeting concludes, the Doctor comments on how well things have gone.
However, Rory, Tony and Ambrose enter, placing Alaya's body on the floor. The Doctor is furious with Ambrose, promising Eldane he had no idea of what had happened. Ambrose pleads that she was only trying to protect her family, but it becomes clear that even Elliot and Mo are disgusted with her. Restac returns and cries at the sight of her sister. When she learns Ambrose is responsibile, she orders the woman's immediate execution. The warriors fire at her, but the Doctor steps in to protect her. The group is forced to flee the room.
Eldane leads the Doctor and his friends to the laboratory. They barricade themselves inside and try to think of a way to proceed. Time is running out before the drill reactivates and destroys the Silurian city, but with Restac's warriors surrounding them, they cannot return to the surface and turn it off. Restac's too blinded by rage to realise she'll die. Eldane decides to use an emergency failsafe. He will use the controls to release a cloud of toxic gas across the city. The Silurians in suspended animation in their cryochambers will be safe, but those under Restac's orders will be killed. The Doctor, with Nasreen's reluctant permission, agrees to program an energy surge to destroy the drill and prevent any further threat to the city.
Though the Doctor regrets the failure of compromise, Eldane insists the Earth is not ready for the return of the Silurians yet. With this, the Doctor informs his companions that in a thousand years, the Silurians will return to the surface no matter what and they must spread the word. Tony decides to stay behind when he learns that the Silurians can cure his wound, which is causing mutation. Nasreen also opts to remain, thanking the Doctor for helping her fulfil her dream of seeing the Earth. The Doctor ushers his companions to the TARDIS, ordering the Northovers inside and telling them where the medical bay is.
However, he is distracted by the sight of a crack opposite the TARDIS; Amy recognises it instantly. The Doctor is distressed that he doesn't understand it, especially when he remembers that Prisoner Zero and the Weeping Angels seemed to know what it was. Knowing that the cracks were caused by a temporal explosion, he muses that with an explosion, there is shrapnel, and reaches into the crack; wincing in pain, producing a shard of smoking debris. Before he can take a good look at it, Restac crawls into the room, having let herself be poisoned so she can get her revenge. She aims her weapon at the Doctor, but Rory jumps in the line of fire, taking the hit. Before Restac can fire again, she dies. After a brief conversation with Amy, Rory dies in her arms. The Doctor, seeing Rory has already been surrounded by the time field, forces Amy into the TARDIS, where they watch as Rory is slowly swallowed by the crack.
A devastated Amy reminds the Doctor what he told her after the Byzantium: she remembered the Clerics because she is a time traveller. This, however, is her own history changing, so it's different. He tries to help Amy remember Rory, which he admits is possible if there is no distraction. As Amy remembers Rory, her memories of him begin to fade. Amy tries her best, but the TARDIS has a bumpy landing that breaks her concentration. She forgets all about him. All that remains of Rory is the engagement ring he gave Amy lying on the floor of the TARDIS console room, and the Doctor's memories of him.
The Doctor, Amy, Elliot, Mo and Ambrose rush out of the TARDIS to see the drill explode. Some time later, the Doctor encourages Ambrose to bring Elliot up with the best values, so he may represent the best of humanity in the ways that she couldn't.
The Doctor and Amy return to the TARDIS. Amy stops to wave at her future self on the opposite hill; for a moment, she believes she saw someone else next to her as well, but quickly forgets about it, reminding the Doctor of Rio. Once she is inside the TARDIS, he remembers the debris he pulled from the crack. It is a scorched blue and white fragment of wood with black lettering. The Doctor holds it against the sign on the TARDIS door, confirming it is a broken piece of the TARDIS exterior. The Doctor worriedly enters the TARDIS.

Crew Edit

|Not every person who worked on this adventure was credited. The absence of a credit for a position doesn't necessarily mean the job wasn't required. The information above is based solely on observations of the actual end credits of the episodes as broadcast, and does not relay information from IMDB or other sources.
Despite the centrality of prosthetics to creating the Silurians — and indeed the inclusion of an interview with Rob Mayor on CON: After Effects — no member of Millennium FX's staff received an individual credit on this episode. Similarly, Davy Jones was fairly extensively interviewed in CON: After Effects, where he was clearly shown to be doing the job of the prosthetics make-up artist. However he was not credited for his work. This was the first time he was visually confirmed to be working on Doctor Who since The Parting of the Ways. Malcolm Hulke did not receive a credit for creating the Silurians, though he does later on in TV: A Good Man Goes to War.

Story notes Edit
- This episode was incorrectly entitled Warm Planet by the BBC. [statement unclear]
- It is revealed that the Doctor's TARDIS is at least at the centre of the explosion that started the cracks, as the Doctor fishes a piece of TARDIS out of the crack, which is burnt and destroyed. It is also a foreshadowing of TV: The Pandorica Opens /The Big Bang.
- Though it apparently was not used in the episode, in Doctor Who Confidential a cut segment from the scene in which the Silurians are marching the Doctor and Nasreen to the court hall appears. In the dialogue, Nasreen expresses that she does not want to be executed "down here". The Doctor commiserates, saying that the "last time I was executed it really put a blight on the day." There are several possible events to which this could be a reference, but as this scene did not appear on screen it should not affect continuity.
- The Doctor uses the phrase, "squeaky bum time", originally coined by Sir Alex Ferguson, the manager of football club Manchester United, in 2003.[1] Before Matt Smith became an actor, he planned to become a professional footballer (being forced out by a back injury) and is still a fan of the sport, perhaps why the line was included.
- This is the first episode since Part One of TV: The End of Time to have narration. Other stories with narration include TV: The Deadly Assassin, Doctor Who, Army of Ghosts and Human Nature. The opening narration, however, was not actually in the script. According to Ashley Way in the DVD commentary, it was added by Steven Moffat in the edit.
- The Doctor mentions the Silurians going into hibernation when they predicted a planet was going to crash into the earth, which in fact was when the Moon first aligned with the Earth.
- Clips from TV: The Eleventh Hour, The Time of Angels, Flesh and Stone, and The Vampires of Venice were shown.
- The Doctor holds his sonic screwdriver vertically upright to disarm the Silurians, reminiscent of his older sonic screwdriver models. He was last seen to hold it like this in TV: Utopia.
Ratings Edit
- Overnight ratings were 5.7 million (5.4 million on BBC1, 0.3 million on HD) for a 27.2% share.[2]
- Offical viewing figures was 7.04 million.
Filming locations Edit
- The Silurian Council Chamber is a redress of the Temple of Peace, which had previously been used as the Platform One meeting room set from TV: The End of the World, the Senate building seen in TV: Gridlock, the temple of the Sibylline Sisterhood in TV: The Fires of Pompeii and the Mona Lisa chamber at the art gallery from TV: Mona Lisa's Revenge. [3]
- Plantasia Botanic Gardens, Parc Tawe, Swansea (this exact same location had previously been used in DW: The Doctor's Daughter)
Production errors Edit
- When running from the Silurians in the tunnels, the Doctor holds his sonic screwdriver. In the shots of the Doctor, the screwdriver is vertical, but in the shots of the Silurians, the screwdriver is more horizontal.
- When Amy is trying to not forget Rory, the memory of him getting shot does not show the laser blast striking him.
- When Restac shows up, the Doctor has just pulled the shard of the TARDIS out of the crack. He starts to push himself off the ground. The camera cuts to Restac dragging herself towards them and then back to the Doctor, who finishes jumping to his feet. The shard of the TARDIS is nowhere in sight. It has not been left on the ground and there wasn't time for the Doctor to put it in his pocket.
- In the scene where Rory is dead after the Doctor remembers about the crack erasing people, he goes near the TARDIS, but when it cuts to Amy crying, the Doctor is behind her. There wouldn't be enough time for him to go from the TARDIS to behind Amy.
- When saving Ambrose from a Silurian ray gun, the humans run from the Silurians. Tony is seen directly in front of the Doctor and Elliot. However, in the next shot, he is at the front of the group, directly in front of Nasreen.
Continuity Edit
- The Doctor directly references his first encounter with Silurians. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians)
- Rory pushes the Doctor out of the line of fire only to be mortally wounded himself, just as Jenny did for him. (TV: The Doctor's Daughter)
- The Doctor mentions fixed points in time again. (TV: The Fires of Pompeii, The Waters of Mars)
- The warrior class of Silurians use heat ray weapons similar to those utilised by the biologically-related Sea Devils. (TV: Warriors of the Deep)
- A gravity bubble is used by the Silurians. They were also used by Edwin Bracewell to keep the Spitfires in space. (TV: Victory of the Daleks)
- Eldane respects the human race just as Sh'vak did, whereas Restac has the same attitude as Tulok even though he engineered them, but just wanted to hunt them for sport. (AUDIO: Bloodtide)
- The Third Doctor managed to convince a previous Silurian leader to share the planet, but he was killed by his fellow Silurians on orders from a disbeliever. (TV: Doctor Who and the Silurians)
- Amy pickpockets Malokeh so she can escape. Darius Pike picked Thorne's pocket. (TV: Liberation) The Doctor has picked several pockets in his time. (TV: The Ribos Operation, et. al.)
- The Doctor asks for some celery after the aborted decontamination sequence. The Fifth Doctor regularly wore a stick of celery on his lapel (TV: Castrovalva et al), claiming it was an "excellent restorative." (TV: The Caves of Androzani)

An artist's homage to theoretical physics as the Einstein centenary ends
Jean-Pierre Hébert
An observer wanders through science as if exploring a landscape. Here
theories grow like trees. They branch, they leaf; storms of
controversy and conflicting evidence toss and sometimes uproot them.
The ground is littered with fallen theories—yet afresh with
new ones.
Happily engaged since 2003 as artist-in-residence at
the Kavli Institute of Theoretical Physics at the
University of California, Santa Barbara, conceptual
artist Jean-Pierre Hébert has been wandering part
of that landscape with sketchbook in hand. As we close
the World Year of Physics, Hébert's doodles pay
homage both to his favorite artists and to the theorists
who today follow in the footsteps of Albert Einstein,
seeking the most fundamental insights possible into the
nature of the physical world.
In the
string-theory community that frequently gathers at KITP,
the concept of a landscape itself ignites both
controversy and Hébert's imagination. String
theory proposes a way of uniting the quantum and
relativistic physical theories that have resisted, since
Einstein's day, all efforts to knit them into a unified
theory. Today there is a "landscape" in string
theory—not a sturdy tree but an intertwining
overgrowth of possibilities, highly mathematical and yet
teasingly connected to recent findings in astronomy that
have turned one of Einstein's predictions on its head.
This very landscape of possible momentary universes that
turn themselves inside out, manifesting hyperbolic
geometries and endless symmetries, curled-up dimensions
and other dizzying physical and mathematical attributes,
is the stuff of inspiration for an admirer of cubism and
surrealism. In the artist's imagination, versions of
space in which our universe is a hologram or a surface
folded in on itself are child's play, a trick of a pen
guided by artistic imagination. In truth, the myriad of
possibilities imagined by string theorists today is an
enormous challenge: Until theoretical or experimental
tests trim back the thicket, theorists risk predicting
nothing by predicting everything.
In the
artist's eye, strings form a topo-logically complex
"multiverse" populated by bubble-physicists
and covered with a patchwork of equation-filled
(4). Newton's apple is falling
precipitously to Earth, endangering physicists busy
calculating the effects of gravity on the
pommes falling through their own terrain
(5). In this idea-space, string
theorists hitch themselves to ideas that take them in
rather diverse directions
(6). And what about the
"anthropic principle"?
(7) If human beings live in this
universe, permitted to do so by the local physical laws,
and string theory suggests there must be other universes
with different physics where we couldn't live, what does
it mean that there is a universe such that we
can live in it? Finally, a literally open mind
may be what's implied by de Sitter space, where an
empty, highly symmetrical universe is exponentially

CO House passes ammo limits amid GOP opposition
DENVER, Colo. - Colorado House Democrats approved new ammunition limits and expanded background checks in a debate that has drawn attention from the White House.
The Democratic-led House voted Monday to ban large-capacity magazines, placing a limit of 15 rounds for firearms, and eight for shotguns. Lawmakers also passed a requirement for background checks on firearm sales between private parties.
The proposals are responses to recent mass shootings.
Republicans oppose the measures, saying they restrict Second Amendment rights and won't prevent mass shootings.
Paul Paradis with Paradise Firearm Sales said this is not the way to end mass shootings.
"It is not going to stop one bad guy from getting them but it is going to make it harder on the honest citizen," said the Colorado Springs business owner.
Vice President Joe Biden called four Democrats Friday during a daylong debate on the measures, including two in moderate districts.
Votes on banning concealed firearms on colleges and requiring that gun purchasers pay for their own background checks also passed.
The Senate still needs to consider the proposals.

General Questions
How did PAWS start?
PAWS was founded by a small group of dedicated people in 1967. Most prominent was Virginia Knouse, who served as the president of PAWS until the early 1990s. The founders were concerned about the tragedy of euthanasia at our communities' shelters. They believed that the best way to prevent the euthanasia of animals in shelters was to encourage spaying and neutering, as PAWS does today. They founded PAWS to raise money for low-cost spaying and neutering of Lynnwood-area animals, initially by running a thrift store.
But the store quickly became swamped with cats and dogs brought in by people who assumed PAWS would be able to take care of them. Within two years, PAWS opened the companion animal shelter in, what was then, rural Lynnwood. As with many shelters in the country, PAWS also began receiving injured, sick and orphaned wild animals. In 1981 PAWS began to provide specialized care for wildlife. Since those humble beginnings in 1967, PAWS has found loving, responsible homes for more than 120,000 cats and dogs, cared for more than 100,000 wild animals, and helped countless others through advocacy and education. Read more about our history.
How is PAWS different than other animal advocacy and animal welfare organizations?
PAWS is unique because of the breadth of our commitment to the animals in our community. There is no other organization taking a leadership role in direct care for sick, injured or orphaned wildlife and of homeless dogs and cats, and offering a central commitment to advocacy and education on behalf of animals. More than 200,000 animals have come through our doors since 1967, and it is this hands-on experience that gives us perspective on how best to advocate for them and educate the community.
Is there a PAWS near me?
Throughout the United States there are several organizations with the name PAWS. However, all of these are separate organizations and have no affiliation with our organization, the Progressive Animal Welfare Society, in Lynnwood, Washington near Seattle. If you are looking for a PAWS in your area, try checking the list of other organizations called PAWS on the "Not the Right PAWS?" page .
To search for companion animal organizations near you, go to www.petfinder.com. For a list of wildlife rehabilitation centers contact the National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association (NWRA) at www.nwrawildlife.org or 320.230.9920.
How do I make a donation to PAWS?
You can do one of three things: send in your donation by mail, make a secure donation online, or call the fundraising office at 425.787.2500 x261 to talk to someone about making a donation. More than 80 percent of PAWS' operating budget comes from gifts made by our friends in the community. Gifts are vital to help us fulfill our mission.
What items can I donate to PAWS? Does PAWS have a wish list?
You can help the animals in our care by donating items from our wish list. PAWS is not able to accept bags or cans of food that have been opened or are expired. Donations can be delivered to PAWS Companion Animal Shelter or PAWS Cat City during our regular business hours. We will provide you with a tax-deductible receipt for your contribution. Thank you for your support!
Is PAWS recognized by the government as a non-profit?
Yes, PAWS is recognized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Our tax ID number is 91-6073154.
How much money goes to fundraising and administration?
PAWS is committed to keeping our fundraising and administration costs as low as possible. This ensures that community support truly benefits the animals in our care—providing food, supplies, expert veterinary care, and love, and funds our education and advocacy initiatives. In 2013, fundraising and administration accounted for 15.7% of PAWS' total operating budget. For more detail, PAWS' audited financial statements are available by calling 425.412.4038. You can also learn more about PAWS' budget and work for the animals in our most recent Annual Report.
How old do I have to be to volunteer?
You must be 18 years old to volunteer at PAWS on a regular basis, however we do have a few options for kids to volunteer with PAWS and lots of ideas on how kids can help animals every day.
I want to volunteer– how do I go about this?
Visit the volunteer page where you can read about how to become a volunteer, link to descriptions of volunteer opportunities, and complete an online application. Opportunities include walking dogs, providing foster care, staffing outreach and fundraising events, taking care of cats, assisting with wildlife rehabilitation, helping with administrative tasks and more.
Does PAWS teach classes?
PAWS has a Humane Education Program where a humane educator and trained volunteers go to classrooms, clubs and other groups to teach youth about wild, farm and companion animals. We offer a variety of different presentations and interactive lessons to help youth better understand animals, foster empathy for them, and even meet many educational requirements, such as math and reading. Learn more about the programs we offer or call 425.787.2500 x258.
How do I report animal cruelty?
If you are witnessing animal cruelty at this moment, call 911.
PAWS has no legal authority to intervene on behalf of abused and neglected animals, but we can provide resources and support to Washington residents in identifying and reporting cases of animal cruelty and neglect. If you suspect animal cruelty, you should contact animal control immediately. Refer to our report animal cruelty page for tips on documenting and reporting animal abuse, Washington State laws, and other resources. See a list of Western Washington animal control phone numbers.
Shelter & Companion Animal Questions
I can no longer care for my pet, how can PAWS help?
PAWS offers several resources if you feel you can't keep your pet or if you are helping someone else find a new home for a companion animal. You can also call 425.787.2500 x445. Thank you for taking time to do the best for your animal friend or a homeless animal in need.
I found a stray animal I need to take somewhere. What do I do?
It is important to take the animal to the correct shelter so she can be reunited with her family. If you found a stray cat or dog in the city limits of Bothell, Brier, Kenmore, Lake Forest Park, Mill Creek, Mountlake Terrace, Mukilteo, Shoreline or Woodinville, you can bring the animal to PAWS. Hours and Directions to PAWS. Strays found in unincorporated Snohomish County should go to the Everett Animal Shelter.
If you have found a stray animal, he should be taken to the shelter closest to the location where the animal was found. This will increase the likelihood that the animal will be reunited with his guardian and safely returned home. If you live in Western Washington, view a list of other local shelters.
If you don't find a shelter listed or you live outside of Western Washington, you should call information and see if there is a humane society or SPCA in your area. If that doesn't work, the best bet is to call the local police or sheriff department and ask where they take stray animals. Often it will be your local shelter and they should be able to provide contact information. In some areas it may be necessary to call 911 to obtain information about where to take a stray animal. Be sure to indicate it is a non-emergency.
How long does PAWS keep animals before they put them to sleep?
PAWS does not euthanize healthy, adoptable companion animals nor do we euthanize animals for space or simply because they have been in the shelter for a certain length of time. As an organization committed to the welfare of animals in our care, we euthanize companion animals only when all other reasonable courses of treatment and options for appropriate placement in a home have been exhausted. For every animal in our care, PAWS explores all avenues prior to recommending euthanasia, and remains committed to saving as many animals as possible.
Does PAWS care for feral cats? What can I do about feral cats?
PAWS does not have the facilities to care for feral cats. You can contact Feral Care or the Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Project, or other feral cat groups in your local area. These organizations can provide information on trapping and altering feral cats or provide assistance with renting traps or surgery. For more information and for a list of feral cat organizations refer to our feral cat page.
Where can I get a humane cat trap?
Traps may be rented from PAWS for a $10 a day or $50 a week rental fee, plus a $100 refundable deposit. You must come to the PAWS Companion Animal Shelter during the hours we are open to rent one. Ask a PAWS staff person for "trapping" posters to put up in your neighborhood prior to trapping. This warns neighbors who let their cats roam that they may be accidentally trapped, and encourages them to keep the cat indoors. Other shelters may rent traps as well. Refer to our humane trap rental page for more information.
What happens before a dog or cat gets adopted?
It's a very involved process that starts with checking every pet that arrives at PAWS for a microchip to see if that animal already has a home. Some animals go to foster care if that's needed, and we get to know each dog or cat so we can be sure we can help make a great match between the dog or cat and your family. To read all about it, check out our handout, The Path to a Forever Home.
Why does PAWS interview potential adopters?
PAWS interviews potential adopters to ensure that they and the animal are a good match for each other. For example, adopting a very high-energy animal into to a low-energy family will only result in disappointment for the animal and the family. PAWS wants to do everything possible to make sure families find the right animal to fit into their lifestyles and animals have a home that best fulfills their needs. Read more about our adoption process.
Why does PAWS suggest adopting two kittens at the same time?
Kittens are curious and require lots of stimulation. A single, bored kitten will often entertain herself by chewing and climbing on things, or engaging in other possibly destructive or dangerous activities. These behaviors are usually reduced if a kitten has another kitten or cat to play with, and has frequent interaction with her human family.
If there isn't already a cat in the household, PAWS will often encourage adopters to consider adopting two kittens at the same time, or a kitten and a young adult cat. Since kittens need to learn appropriate feline behavior in the first several months of their lives, having another feline friend can help to temper normal behaviors such as scratching or biting so they don't become a problem.
If you choose to adopt just one young kitten, you may need to modify your schedule to allow more interactive time with your new friend. While toys are helpful for short periods of time, they are not a substitute for socialization which is imperative for a kitten's healthy physical and emotional development. For more tips see the kitten section in our Resource Library.
What is PAWS' stance on declawing cats?
PAWS does not approve of declawing, a painful, surgical procedure that has long-lasting effects on cats. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, declawing is the surgical amputation of all or part of a cat's toe bones and the attached claws. Once their claws have been removed, cats can no longer perform their natural stretching and kneading rituals. They become weaker as they age and may experience debilitating arthritis in their backs and shoulders.
Furthermore, cats without claws have lost their first line of defense, and therefore, live in a constant state of stress. They cannot fight off other animals or escape quickly from danger. They may also become biters because they can no longer use their claws as a warning. Declawing can also lead to issues with using the litter box. For more information see The Problems with Declawing.
Scratching is natural for cats, but it can be both annoying and destructive. Luckily, scratching behaviors can be modified humanely and effectively. See our page on Destructive Scratching for suggestions.
Can I license my pet at PAWS?
At PAWS Companion Animal Shelter in Lynnwood, we can license your pet if you live in Mountlake Terrace, Seattle, unincorporated King County, Auburn, Beaux Arts, Bellevue, Black Diamond, Carnation, Clyde Hill, Covington, Duvall, Enumclaw, Issaquah, Kent, Kenmore, Kirkland, Lake Forest Park, Maple Valley, Mercer Island, Newcastle, North Bend, Redmond, Sammamish, SeaTac, Shoreline, Snoqualmie, Tukwila, Woodinville, & Yarrow Point.
How do I update my contact information for my pet's microchip?
In order to update your contact information, you need to contact the company who produced the microchip your pet was implanted with. If you are unsure about the brand of microchip, go to www.petmicrochiplookup.org and type in your pet's microchip number. Once you determine what brand of microchip your pet has, contact the company directly to update your information. Some microchip companies charge a small fee to update your information, but it's worth the cost to ensure you and your pet can be reunited if they become lost. Current contact information also helps to provide proof of legal ownership.
AVID may charge a nominal fee to change or activate the registration. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but taking this extra step allows your animal to be more easily reunited with you if he becomes lost.
If your new companion has a HomeAgain® microchip that was implanted while at PAWS, that microchip is registered automatically to the HomeAgain national database. If you wish to customize the information, visit www.homeagain.com or call 888.466.3242.
Regardless of what brand of microchip your companion has, it is imperative to update the registration with your local animal shelter and veterinarian if you move, change phone numbers or other contact information. A microchip is only useful if the registration is kept up to date.
Does PAWS pick up dead animals?
PAWS does not pick up dead animals. Please contact your local animal control agency.
Can PAWS spay or neuter my pet?
PAWS offers low-cost spay and neuter surgeries for qualified low-income individuals. Learn more about getting your pet spayed or neutered at PAWS. Also, see this list of other low-cost clinics in Western Washington.
Also, on Spay Day, held once a year in late February, PAWS, other shelters and private veterinary clinics in Snohomish, King, Skagit and Island Counties offer low-cost spay and neuter surgeries. This event is open to anyone.
Can I bring my companion animal to PAWS for veterinary care? Can PAWS help me pay for my veterinary bills?
PAWS does not have a full-service veterinary center and cannot be responsible for veterinary bills or treatment of an animal after leaving our shelter. In Washington State, shelters are restricted from providing general veterinary services to privately owned animals. If you have questions about the health of an animal you adopted from PAWS, please review the information in your adoption packet, and be sure to take advantage of the free certificate for a veterinary exam. If you have further questions, you can contact us at 425.787.2500 x804.
PAWS does not have a program to help individuals cover the cost of their pets' veterinary bills, but provides some resources and ideas for getting help with veterinary bills.
Can PAWS provide me with a veterinary or pet sitting/boarding referral?
As a non-profit organization with limited resources, PAWS does not have the ability to evaluate businesses and provide referrals or endorsements to the public. We do provide tips on how to find a pet sitter or boarding kennel and links to resources.
If you are looking for a veterinarian, you can search for one in your area on the Washington State Veterinary Medical Association's website or the American Animal Hospital Association's website. As a caring guardian, please undertake full research before entrusting your companion animal to any service provider.
I am having behavior issues with my new and/or long-time companion animal – can you help?
Please call the PAWS Behavior Helpline at 425.787.2500 or refer to the behavior helpline page. You can also search for tips on solving behavior problems in our Resource Library.
Wildlife Questions
How does PAWS help wild animals?
PAWS operates a wildlife hospital and rehabilitation center that includes a surgical suite, laboratory, an X-ray machine, a treatment and post-operative ward for recovering patients, and custom-built pools and enclosures to meet the needs of a wide variety of species. We have cared for more than 100,000 injured, ill or orphaned wild animals representing 260 species since we began wildlife rehabilitation in 1981. Our goal is to return the animals to the wild with the best possible chance of survival. We do not keep any wild animals permanently in captivity, for display or for educational purposes.
PAWS also educates adults and children on how to peacefully co-exist with wild animals, works to pass legislation to protect wild animals in Washington State, and provides practical humane solutions for solving conflicts with wildlife.
What is wildlife rehabilitation?
Wildlife rehabilitation is a profession involving the treatment and care of sick, injured or orphaned wild animals with the goal of releasing them back to their natural habitats in the wild. For rehabilitation to be deemed successful, released animals must be able to survive on their own and be an integral part of their species population, i.e., recognize and obtain appropriate foods, select mates of their own species to reproduce, and respond appropriately to potential dangers (people, cars, dogs, natural predators, etc.).
Those animals who sustain injuries or illnesses that prevent them from living successfully in the wild are humanely euthanized to end their suffering. Wildlife rehabilitation is not an attempt to turn wild animals into pets. Patients are held in captivity only until they are able to live independently in the wild. Read more about wildlife rehabilitation.
What do I do if I find an injured or potentially orphaned wild animal?
If you find a wild animal you suspect may be injured or orphaned, please contact PAWS at 425.787.2500 x817. Our experienced staff will help you determine whether or not an animal needs assistance, and how best to provide that assistance. Also refer to what to do when you find an injured or orphaned wild animal.
What if I find an injured or sick animal after hours?
If you find an injured or sick wild animal after PAWS Wildlife Center has closed, please do the following:
- Find a suitable container (cardboard box, pet carrier). Line it with a towel or cloth.
- If you feel you can do it safely, throw a towel or a sheet over the animal so he can't see you, gently pick up the animal (wear gloves), and place in the container. You don't need to remove the towel, but loosen it. Secure the container to make sure the animal cannot escape.
- Keep the animal in a warm, dark, quiet place away from noise and pets. For warmth you can place half of the container on a heating pad that is set on the lowest heat setting.
- Do not give the animal food or water. Leave the animal alone to rest.
- Take the animal to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, like PAWS, as soon as possible.
- Please resist peeking at the animal. Before transporting the animal to our facility, you can check whether or not the animal is still alive.
- Bring the animal to PAWS Wildlife Center as soon as possible.
Many wild animals can be dangerous to handle. Contact PAWS Wildlife Center at 425.412.4040 with questions about safely handling an animal you have found.
If I touch a wild baby bird, will the parents abandon the baby?
No. It is a myth that birds will reject their young if they detect human scent. As a matter of fact, if the baby bird appears unharmed, it is best to put the baby back into the nest. If the nest is too high or you cannot find it, make a surrogate nest:
- Find a container such as a small box or margarine tub.
- Fill the container with leaves, paper towels or a clean, soft cloth.
- Place the nest in the tree or bush closest to where the animal was found, out of the sun and rain, as high up as you can safely manage.
- Place the animal (or animals) in the nest (wear gloves) and leave the area.
Learn more about what to do if you find a wild baby bird.
Can I raise an orphaned wild animal myself? What do I feed a wild animal?
It is illegal to raise or keep a wild animal without proper state and/or federal rehabilitation permits. Rehabilitating wild animals also requires specific training. Average citizens rarely have the training to meet wild animals' physical and behavioral needs. Without proper training, you can do more harm than good.
If you are interested in working with wildlife you can volunteer at the PAWS or other local wildlife rehabilitation center. If you find a sick, injured or orphaned wild animal, call PAWS at 425.412.4040. PAWS' experienced staff will help you determine whether or not an animal needs assistance, and how best to provide that assistance.
How do I get rid of a nuisance wild animal?
Please call PAWS at 425.412.4040. A trained PAWS staff member will give you advice on dealing with the animal in a humane manner. There are all sorts of effective solutions to different human/wildlife conflicts that do not require the killing or harming of the animal. If you simply get rid of one wild animal without taking care of whatever it is that attracted that animal to your property, another will be drawn in by the same attractant and take his place. You can also read about various solutions to common problems and learn more about some specific animals, such as Racoons, in our Resource Library.
Is trapping and relocating a wild animal legal? Can PAWS trap and relocate a wild animal at my home, school, business, etc?
No, it is not legal in most cases. Neither citizens nor PAWS can legally trap and relocate wild animals. Relocation is perceived as a quick, effective and humane solution to resolving human-wildlife conflicts. It is, in fact, an ineffective, often inhumane and potentially ecologically destructive method for dealing with wildlife.
Ineffective: A new animal may quickly replace the one that was relocated. Effective long-term solutions can only be achieved by discovering what is attracting the animal and then removing the attractant (covering garbage cans, bringing pet food inside, sealing up potential denning areas in attics or under decks, etc.).
Inhumane: Many animals do not survive relocation. Animals who are relocated have to fight for new territories and are often injured or killed in the process. Relocation of a mother and young is almost always futile, since it is often difficult for her to quickly find food, shelter, and a safe place to raise her young in unfamiliar surroundings. The mother may be forced to abandon her young for her own survival.
Biologically unsound: Relocation of wildlife to new territories can disrupt the wildlife populations that are already living there. Relocating wildlife may also introduce diseases or parasites into areas in which they did not previously exist.
Can I keep a wild animal as a pet?
It is illegal in the state of Washington to possess a wild animal without a permit unless you are transporting that animal to a licensed wildlife rehabilitator. (WAC 232-12-064)
Will the wildlife in my neighborhood starve if I don't feed them?
No. In fact, feeding wildlife can be detrimental for them.
- When wild animals begin to depend on humans for food, their foraging skills may be diminished.
- They may also lose their healthy fear of humans, which is important to their survival. An animal who no longer fears humans is also far more likely to come into conflict with them.
- The food that humans tend to feed wildlife, such as leftovers from the dinner table, can cause serious health problems.
- When food is easily available, wild animals may congregate in unusually large numbers. They may also produce more offspring, further increasing population density, and causing imbalances. This may also result in aggressive behavior among the animals and/or facilitate the spread of disease.
- Feeding migratory animals may interfere with the animals' awareness of seasonal changes in natural food supplies that tell them it is time to migrate.

Debbie Gibson and Dee Snider Both Fired, Aubrey O'Day Walks Off on "Celeb Apprentice"
3 comments:
- Adrienne said...
I'm a little bummed out that Dee got fired. I have to admit, while I love Lisa she's kind of annoying. I don't know what Dayana did to her but it's obvious now that it's just a grudge she has against her. As far as Aubrey though. GOOD RIDDDANCE. I couldn't stand that nobody and I'm glad Arsenio stood up to her the way he did. Even the other men on the team seemed pleased with it!
- April 2, 2012 at 10:06 AM
Aubrey--she indeed displays NPD but then she learned the traits of NPD quite well from her "alleged" grandma in Rancho Mirage, CA.
Adios and don't let the door hit you on the way out.
- April 4, 2012 at 11:57 PM
Manipulative, spoiled brat Aubrey needs her butt paddled and dumped from the show immediately! I hope that Paul, Sr. is next manager and reams her out more harshly than Arsenio! Lisa should also go. 50/50 on Lou.

text: Well I'm not being totally serious about wanting him to be hurt but part of me is serious because I want to see AI and Rip start in the backcourt again but I can't see Curry going back to that again because he's so stubborn...here are my reasons 1) Look at our season so far and check out our best wins .... @LA, Cle, @SAS...what do those 3 wins have in common?? All 3 we started AI and Rip together..now I know we ended up losing to Washington and Minnesota, etc...but that was early in the season when Rip and AI were still learning to play together...and I think everyone can agree that they look so much better playing together now then they did back then...AI seems he's starting to learn where to give rip the ball and where he likes to shoot..and honestly even back in the beginning of the season Rip was getting good looks from AI...he's just was in a slump and was hitting them.. 2) Any fan who has watched AI his whole career like me knows that AI is at his best when he has the ball in his hands...AI is a better shooter off the dribble than he his in catch and shoot situations...sure he might have a few extra turnovers..but he's our best player at creating shots for other plays..especially our bigs..plus we could use the pick and roll a ton with AI and when the big shows AI could pick up..this would also create more fouls on the bigs because AI is good at acting when the Big shows and bumps him to pick up the foul...the problem with putting AI at point early in his career was that he would probably never give the ball up lol...but at this point in his career AI is def not like that anymore..if anything when he is playing with Rip and Stuck it seems like he defers to them more than trying to get his own shot... 3) I know some people won't agree with me but imo Stuck is not ready to be a championship caliber point guard right now..and there's nothing wrong with that because he's only in his 2nd year...right now he's more of a scoring guard...some say our offense runs better with Stuck at the 1 but the way our offense has struggled at times..I'm not convinced of this...Stuck could be our scoring guard off the bench kinda like Pargo was for the hornets last year (i know stuck is better than pargo but u get the idea).... 4) ARRON AFFLALO!!!...as most of us predicted aa's mins have basically disappeared along with the "Rip as a 6th man" change...this way he would get more mins because he could be our backup at the 2 spot....I'm pretty sure every piston fan would agree that AA def needs more mins...and I like him guarding 1s and 2s more than I do 2s and 3s...AA has great body position and lateral quickness which is good against guards but 3s can outmuscle him and shoot over him easier...you could still use AA at the 3 also..but this way he would get more mins at the 2 spot as well.... Some of you may say defensively this won't work with AI but I think it can...AI isn't a defensive stopper by any means and he's not as good as Stuck but AI has been playing decent D and I think if we only give this lineup another chance their D will still be fine.. Like I said I don't want Stuck to get hurt but it's the only way I could see Curry changing his lineup again...I'm just thinking maybe Stuck could get be out for a week and then we go on a tear and when Stuck gets back we ease him back in by using him as the Sixth man and eventually he just stays there...but knowing curry he probably would shove Stuck back into the starting 5 as soon as he got back and give him 40+ mins.... my starting 5 would be AI, Rip, Tay, Amir, Sheed

EXCERPT: Consumed: Sustainable Food for a Finite Planet
Sarah Elton | Posted 06.22.2013 | Canada Living
Read More: Locavore Sarah Elton, Sustainable Food, Consumed Sarah Elton, Sustainable Food Sarah Elton, Consumed, Canada Living News
What happens on this planet over the next four decades has the potential to fundamentally alter life as we know it. By 2050, the world's population is expected to reach 9 billion people--that's 9 billion hungry humans--while climate change increasingly interferes with the way we produce our food. At the same time, few of us know where that food comes from, let alone how to grow it, and we are at the mercy of multinationals that control the food chain, with little insight into the damage their methods are inflicting on the planet. This puts our future at risk.
