Growth, Natural Mortality, Length–weight Relationship, Maximum Length and Length-at-first-maturity of the Coelacanth Latimeria chalumnae
- Cite this article as:
- Froese, R. & Palomares, M.L.D. Environmental Biology of Fishes (2000) 58: 45. doi:10.1023/A:1007602613607
Based on the re-interpretation of published data, the von Bertalanffy growth function parameters of the coelacanth, Latimeria chalumnae, are estimated as L∞=218 cm total length, s.e. 23; K=0.059 (year−1), s.e. 0.012; t0=−3.3 (year), s.e. 0.5, corresponding to a life span of 48 years. The length–weight relationship of the form W=a*TL∧b, with wet weight (W) in g and total length (TL) in cm, is estimated as a=0.0278, b=2.89, r2=0.893, n=87, range=42.5–183 cm TL. Using extreme value theory, the maximum length for female coelacanths is estimated as 199 cm TL (95% confidence interval=175–223 cm TL) and for males as 168 cm TL (95% confidence interval 155–180 cm TL). Based on data from seven females with embryos or mature eggs, the length-at-first-maturity for females is estimated to be about 150 cm TL, corresponding to an age of about 16 years. Based on the value of t0=−3.3 years and on the presence of three scale rings found in a newborn coelacanth, the period of embryogenesis lasts for about three years, the longest known in vertebrates. The natural mortality rate is estimated at M=0.12. Population food consumption is found to be 1.4 times the existing biomass per year, and gross food conversion efficiency indicates that only 10% of the consumed food is utilized for somatic growth.

by Stephanie Phillips, ChildFund special assistant
The dim evening light filters through the windows of the Denver Press Club spotlighting the tables of toys. These aren't ordinary toys found in local toy shops—these are unique toys constructed of recycled materials, made by the hands of children from around the world.
ChildFund International's traveling toy exhibit, the Power to Play, made a stop at the Denver press club last week. The exhibit was not only an opportunity for donors in the Denver area to view the toys but also to gather and celebrate their commitment to ChildFund. Many of the donors attending the reception have been sponsoring children for more than 30 years.
As attendees walked around the room, they marveled not only at the ingenuity and creativity the children used to craft the toys but also at the materials they used. All of the toys in the Power to Play exhibit are made from materials people throw away on a daily basis—plastic bags, tin cans, scrap wood and empty containers.
"We want as many people as possible to see this exhibit, because it is not an ordinary exhibit—it is extraordinary because kids have made these toys with their own hands. I call them the original environmentalists," said ChildFund International President and CEO Anne Lynam Goddard, who greeted donors at the event.
Athena Boulgarides, Regional Development Officer for ChildFund, explained how play helps children's development. "Play is an astonishing gift that children give themselves," she said. "Through play they solve problems and test new ideas. Play is the key to the future of their psychosocial development, emotional development—and honoring that is a gift."
by Eric Severson
Eric Severson is the author and performer of the song "The Power to Play," which he wrote to accompany ChildFund's video and innovative program of the same name.
I have been donating to ChildFund International since I was in college, which is long enough to have seen several of my sponsored children grow up and be replaced with a new set of wonderful and deserving kids.
Through the years, I've always been extremely impressed by ChildFund's sincerity, passion and highly efficient operation. In an age when humanitarian resources too often have been misused, ChildFund has always kept its fundraising and administrative costs extremely low, allowing the children to receive a maximum amount of help. I know it also makes a huge difference to these children to have a real human being providing their support – with a name and face they know – not just a nameless, faceless "donor" in the background.
I am now absolutely thrilled to be able to contribute another side of me – my songwriting and music – to help this wonderful cause. Though most of my songs have focused on humanitarian subjects, it was only this year that I thought to use these efforts directly to benefit ChildFund. What a wonderful insight that was!
Earlier this year, I had written a song called "Children of the World," which I officially dedicated to ChildFund International. As the words of the song's chorus indicate, it was all about our tendency toward apathy and indecision in responding to charitable causes:
Children of the world, when will we see
That you are more than just a photograph, or ads on our TV?
Children of the world, will we find a way?
Tomorrow may not come for you, you need our help today.
My favorite part of the song, however, is the "bridge" section, which I see as the essence of what ChildFund International does so well in fostering personal relationships between donors and their sponsored children:
If I could only see these kids, as if they all were my own kids,
I would not hesitate to right this wrong.
I'd reach out to them with my all, hug them tightly close to me,
And wonder why I waited for so long.
This song got the attention of Athena Boulgarides, my regional ChildFund development officer, and we began to talk about what else I might do to help in a more central and impactful way. When Athena explained the "Power to Play" program – and I watched the video of kids building toys – I was absolutely awestruck by the power of this vision and by its obvious results on the children. With encouragement from Athena, I decided to take on the project of writing the music to go along with this powerful video.
The project presented two major challenges. First, though I wanted the music to be hopeful and inspiring – not sad – I didn't want to gloss over the heartbreaking existence these kids were coming from. It had to be music that made you smile and feel good – but while tears were falling from your eyes at the same time. The music went through a number of iterations before I finally found something that I liked – and there were one or two points in the process where I became so discouraged I wondered if I'd ever find that delicate and elusive balance of emotions.
Second, since the video was not made with my music in mind, I had to work hard to match the lyrics and themes in the song as closely as I could to the actual timing of the video. For this purpose I made a chart of the exact timings of each scene and transition in the video, and wrote the words and music at each point to align as closely as I could with what was on the screen. Because songs need to have predictable structure of verses and choruses and so forth, this was an inexact exercise at best – but with a bit of poetic license, I was able to come closer than I originally thought I could.
I hope the result speaks for itself, and that I have managed to produce something that will make a big difference to ChildFund and its ability to capture the hearts and imaginations of potential donors and sponsors. This is such an amazing and important program, and I feel truly blessed to be a part of it.

ChildFund International opened its exhibit of toys "The Power to Play – from Trash to Treasure" at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles on Sunday. ChildFund President and CEO Anne Lynam Goddard and former sponsored child Shauntay Hinton spoke at the standing-room only event.
Children learned first hand how to make hand made toys using some of the same materials that children in ChildFund programs use to make toys.
Shauntay, a former Miss USA and now a host on the Fine Living Channel, spoke about how ChildFund allowed her to gain confidence. Anne spoke about the resiliency of children.
The exhibit runs through Dec. 31. If you live in the L.A. area or will be visiting the area before the end of the year, please stop by the Museum of Tolerance to visit "The Power to Play."

From Richmond to Boston to Washington, D.C., our traveling toy exhibit – "The Power to Play – from Trash to Treasure" – has been seen by thousands of people on the East Coast. Now it's time to move west.
Beginning Sunday, Sept. 13, West Coast residents and visitors to Los Angeles will get to see our display of hand-crafted toys at the Museum of Tolerance. The exhibit will remain there through the end of the year.
The toys were made by children around the world in the countries in which ChildFund International works. Toys range from soccer balls made out of rubber bands and trash bags to dolls made out of banana bark to boats made out of old flip-flops.
ChildFund International President and CEO Anne Lynam Goddard and MOT Director
Liebe Geft will launch the toy exhibit with a ribbon cutting at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 13. They will be joined by Shauntay Hinton, former Miss USA and ChildFund International sponsored child, who will share her inspiring journey.
"We are sharing this toy collection as a visible demonstration of how the power to play helps children thrive and become leaders of enduring change in their communities and the world," Anne says.
On opening day, the museum will hold workshops for children to create toys made from recycled materials donated by a local "green" toy company.
So if you'll be in the area that day or anytime through Dec. 31, check out the Museum of Tolerance at 9786 W. Pico Blvd. in Los Angeles.

For ChildFund International, our toy exhibit – "The Power to Play – from Trash to Treasure" – is more than just a display of creative toys. It embodies the essential qualities of children, qualities that have been the foundation of our work for 70 years.
On Aug. 6, our traveling toy exhibit was officially launched at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Joining ChildFund President and CEO Anne Lynam Goddard in the celebration were Helen Thomas, dean of the White House Press Corps and renowned journalist, and Myron Belkind, chair of the International Correspondents Committee of the National Press Club.
Here are highlights from the celebration:

"Whether creating a toy boat from an old flip flop, a doll from banana bark or a truck from an empty spray can, children have a remarkable power to play," says ChildFund International President and CEO Anne Lynam Goddard.
That remarkable power Anne speaks of will be on display from Aug. 3-28 at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., as our toy exhibit, "The Power to Play – from Trash to Treasure," is showcased. The National Press Club's International Correspondents Committee and ChildFund International will host a special event from 3-5 p.m. Aug. 6 to showcase the exhibit.
Renowned journalist Helen Thomas will introduce Anne, who will speak on the toy exhibit and ChildFund's work with deprived, excluded and vulnerable children around the world.
"These are children who have experienced all the grinding burdens the developing world can inflict on childhood – famine, war, poverty, sickness," Anne says of the children who made the toys. "But the toys they made offer dramatic proof that – through it all – children can retain their sense of wonder, their desire to play, their indomitable spirit, and their ability to imagine and create … if they are given the support they need."
For more information about the toys, visit www.ChildFund.org/toys. For more on the National Press Club, visit npc.press.org. The National Press Club is at 529 14th St. NW; the Aug. 6 event is open to the public.
Coming later this week: I head to Washington, D.C., to give you an inside look at the National Press Club event.

In the past six months or so, a spare cube at our International Office in Richmond, Va., became a giant toy box. One by one, box by box, toys were coming to us from all around the world. "We're up to our eyeballs in toys," was a common phrase heard on the fifth floor in our office. It was very true.
But these toys weren't the latest Elmo or Nintendo Wii accessory or Barbie dolls – these were toys handcrafted by children around the world in the areas ChildFund International works. These toys were soccer balls made out of rubber bands and trash bags; dolls made out of banana bark; toy boats made out of old shoes. These toys were made out of what some people consider trash, but these children created a treasure.
Now these toys will be shown in many cities throughout the United States in the next year in an exhibit called "The Power to Play – from Trash to Treasure." Currently an exhibit is at the Boston Children's Museum – if you're in that area you better hurry as the exhibit's last day is Saturday, Aug. 1.
A "Power to Play" exhibit is also currently on display at the Page Bond Gallery in Richmond, Va., through Aug. 21. Since we're headquartered in Richmond, we wanted to kickoff the exhibit in our backyard.
The collection of more than 350 toys shows real imagination and creativity for using locally available materials that were often scrap or discarded by others. Some of the toys are unique to their place of origin; some tell the story of the social, economic and political conditions in which children find themselves; others are as universal as the soccer balls and kites that children across three continents have made using exactly the same techniques.
"We are sharing this toy collection as a visible demonstration of how the power to play helps children thrive and become leaders of enduring change in their communities and the world," says ChildFund International President and CEO Anne Lynam Goddard.
For more information about the toys, visit www.ChildFund.org/toys. For more toy photos, visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ChildFundInternational.
Coming Monday: The toy exhibit travels to Washington, D.C., and the National Press Club. We'll take a closer at that event.

DELBARTON – Following a lengthy discussion, the Delbarton City Council voted to approve a financial commitment of $2,000 to help fund the 21st annual Delbarton Homecoming event.
Councilman Albert Totten approached the subject during Monday's regular meeting of the Delbarton City Council. Since Totten also serves as Chairman of the Homecoming Committee, he abstained from making a motion on this agenda item.
Totten opened the discussion by inviting anyone that wishes to attend to the next meeting of the Homecoming Committee scheduled for Thursday, June 16 at 6:30 p.m. in Council Chambers at Delbarton City Hall.
Due to the current economic situation faced by the state and county, Totten explained the Homecoming Committee is having a difficult time securing the funding needed for the event.
"I don't know what is going to happen yet with the state budget. Last year, we got $2,800 for the homecoming from the State Fairs and Festivals…" Totten explained.
Totten continued, explaining that other sources of funding previously available to the Homecoming Committee has also been reduced or eliminated. "The question comes down to, do we want to have the homecoming and can we afford it. Should we call it quits after 20 years? Obviously, I do not think that is the best option but I think we need to look at the possibility of continuing it at a reduced cost and reductions," Totten stated. "What I am asking for is we need a commitment from the town as what the town can do financially directly so we know what we can do Thursday night."
Totten also explained that declining interest from Delbarton residents to participate in planning the event is also a factor currently faced by the committee. "To be honest with you, it seems like the interest is waning a little bit, we are getting less volunteers…I have been trying to get a meeting together for some time now but everyone has been busy. You can count on about 12 people that are 100 percent in… Again it comes down to whether or not we are going to have some money to do homecoming. I think it is a real benefit to the town. It brings a lot of people in," Totten stated.
Delbarton Mayor John Preece responded stating, "Over the years, this has grown… It seems like it is ingrained and people expect it, especially not so much the people here, but the people away from here. It is such a positive slant for the town. People come in here and the good will, fellowship and camaraderie, it just seems to be an event that would be hard for us not to do. I think people would be very disappointed…I would hate to see this town right now give up this homecoming."
The discussion continued focusing on where possible cut backs could be made to reduce costs and activities usually featured at the weekend long event such as class reunions, blue grass music, and a fish fry.
Council also continued the discussion on the worsening economic situation and the uncertainty of funding in relation to the annual event. In previous years, the Homecoming Committee could depend on state funding from West Virginia Fairs and Festivals as well as county funding.
Following the discussion Preece stated, "Is there a motion to fund the homecoming to the tune of a minimum amount of two thousand dollars and you can give us a report back at the next meeting on what it all looks like?"
Councilman Ralph Maynard made the motion and it was seconded by Councilman Mark Sizemore. The motion to approve a minimum of two thousand dollars to help fund the 21st annual Delbarton Homecoming passed unanimously. Preece stated in conclusion, "We have had a lot of discussion about it and I think the amount of discussion is indicative of how important we feel that this event is to us."

Compassion In Healthcare: Improving Bedside Manner
FLORIDA - HIPPOCRATIC THOUGHT ON BEDSIDE MANNER: Physicians' manners, dress, bearing, deportment, and conduct were vital and necessary elements of patient care, a tradition that extended from the earliest shamans to the emergence of scientific medicine. The Hippocratic corpus has many references to appropriate conduct and medical etiquette, with several devoted just to physician behavior. The importance of bedside manners was taught by medical scholars for 1500 years, from Hippocrates and Galen to Avicenna and the early Christian monks who began hospital care in the Middle Ages. (SOURCE: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles)
THE DOCTOR'S ROLE: The practice of medicine changes with time as we develop better techniques for diagnosis and improved therapies for treatment. The art of medicine remains constant over the millennia because human nature is unchanging. Patients bring fear, anxiety, and self-pity into the exam room. It has always been the doctor's responsibility to calm their fears and provide hope. The accomplished doctor has a bedside manner that is humane and compassionate, empathetic and supportive. (SOURCE: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles)
WHY DOCTORS GET SUED: When patients are asked to describe why they like their doctor, it is common to hear the response, "He or she has a good bedside manner." Research shows that risk of doctors being sued by their patients for medical malpractice has little to do with how many mistakes they make. Despite protests from doctors that malpractice lawsuits are born of greedy patients and their even greedier lawyers, analyses of malpractice suits actually show that highly skilled doctors can get sued a lot, while other doctors who make lots of mistakes never do. (SOURCE: http://www.ccyp.medicine.net; http://jama.jamanetwork.com/journal)
WHAT PATIENTS WANT FROM THEIR DOCTOR: Attitude, listening skills, persuasion abilities and a pleasing demeanor have all become key differentiators in the quality of service of hospitals everywhere in the world. Being a good healthcare professional is not just about being brilliant, patients need and expect more than just their doctor's expertise in their area of work. Patients want their doctors to show compassion and communicate. Patients want their doctors to:
- Be a good listener, patients may need to be encouraged to express their concerns and anxieties.
- Be non-judgmental; avoid stereotyping patients on appearance or cultural or social background.
- Provide information in a language that is easily understood by the patient and avoid medical jargon that may be confusing. Listen to what you are saying.
- Approach all patients in a caring and considerate manner.
- Remember, patients have busy lives, be mindful of waiting times.

North Atlantic Drift
By Ocean Colour Scene
Accompanying this latest album by the band it seems the nation loves to hate is a press release ranting about that fact but stating that OCS have defiantly continued to produce great music and be a great band. That of course is a matter of opinion. Mine will follow soon. I am amused by the tour information though. £18.50 for tickets to see the band in a variety of small venues!! Venues where bands with a far bigger profile have recently played for a mere £10. Maybe that's part of where things went wrong for these Midshire men?
After knocking out perhaps THE single most memorable (in the UK at least) guitar riff off the nineties with some help from a certain TV show and including it on a fine album full of energy and great melodies OCS then seemed to plummet into a nosedive. Another great guitar riff (One Hundred Mile High City) and the inclusion of that on a smash hit British film soundtrack and things looked like they may carry on well for the band. But a lacklustre album failed to keep the masses entertained. Ditto the follow up to that.
And so now we have "North Atlantic Drift". In true OCS style they promise plenty with opener and recent single "I Just Need Myself" that shakes and jigs about with a bit of verve and vigour. Alas the overall tone of the album is quite dull. The title track is strong and contains a nice melody but there just always seems o be something missing. Simon Fowler's voice no longer seems to contain the passion that could be heard on Mosely Shoals and you feel although this is a strong tune it could be fantastic in the hands of Travis or even Doves.
The whole disc just seems to plod along at the same pace and there's just no get up and go to the album. Fine, a nice album to relax to then? But even when you just want something to chill out to at the end of the day it's nice to have a harmony that makes your hair stand up on end or a chord change that catches you unaware. Everything's nicely crafted and well performed but it's just all so safe and dull. There really just seems to be nothing to the music that makes you want to believe in the songs or inspire you to do anything other than see what other CD's you have in your collection. I just find myself thinking, "nice, but such and such could have done this much better".
"Been Writing" and its accompanying strings and "Song Goes On" are, again, most pleasant but metaphorically are the nice guy that girls like to talk to but never want to fuck. There are other bands making better music than this. It's that simple. It's not that OCS are a bad band. They're just probably better off playing other people's songs than their own.

Columbus Short Says HIV Charity Kept Him From The Courts
Columbus Short told the judge that he was not running from his domestic violence trial out of disrespect. According to Columbus Short, his recent trip to Barbados, a trip that angered the judge when he miss his court date, was to help HIV victims.
Centric TV reports that Columbus Short made these comments:
"I apologize sincerely for missing court. I literally went to Barbados for an HIV charity. I was between a rock and a hard place: the rock being court and the hard place being Barbados and 2,000 kids waiting for me to get there.
"I'm not disrespecting the court. I will be here for the rest of this trial."
The judge didn't feel too moved by Short's admission and as kept his bails at $500K.
Short has the option of serving 45 days in jail and three years of probation or he must serve 30 days of community labor and he plans to serve the latter.

Wexler: Five bold predictions for Texans opener
The Houston Texans open their 2015 NFL season against the Kansas City Chiefs at NRG stadium in Houston. Here are five bold predictions about Sunday's game.
1. Jadeveon Clowney will have the first sack of the season for Houston.
J.J. Watt had 20.5 sacks last season and is the franchise leader with 57 sacks and he will get to Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith, too, but Clowney will get the first one.
Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said during the week that Clowney's play count will be watched closely, but wasn't sure of what they would limit him to in his first game action since microfracture surgery in December 2014.
Clowney did not have a sack during his rookie season. He only played in parts of four games.
2. The Texans will not stop the Chiefs ground game - until they reach the red zone. Jamaal Charles will put up better than 100 rushing yards, but will not reach the end zone in short yardage.
3. The Chiefs will complain about the playing surface - oh, wait they already did.
By the way, it's the 133rd home game for the Texans, including preseason, regular season and postseason and the complaints have been throughout the 13, now 14 seasons - yet the grass surface and the pallet system used to put it in place remains the same.
4. The Texans most effective running back will be someone other than Alfred Blue. Blue will start for the injured Arian Foster, but the offensive line for Houston may have issues up front with the Chiefs.
So expect Jonathan Grimes and Chris Polk to play a bunch and be used for their shiftiness and abilities to be utilized as pass catchers out of the backfield or lined up out wide.
5. J.J. Watt will have not one, not two, but three WOW plays. A turnover, an offensive score, a sack and salute - some combination of all those things will hit the Chiefs offense today.

Hi All
Just making the jump/lung and moving from big stiff boots to trying lightweight breathable trail shoes (Inov8 315's)
Just unsure what the best sock setup is ??
I'm not after brands of socks or anything like that, just the system you use.
Currently with my boots I wear a thin merino liner sock with another normal merino sock over the top. Never have I got a blister with the setup.
What I'm unsure about is the drying time etc with shoes that will let water in.
Do you still wear two pairs of socks with light trail shoes ??Jul 20, 2011 at 7:33 pm #1761437

pair of socks; no liners. They are always 1/4 low socks. I don't generally have an occasion to walk in the water but read that most people who do have their shoes/socks dry in a half hour.Jul 20, 2011 at 7:40 pm #1761441

^ agree- just one pair, no liner
I've been using Darn Tough 1/4 cushion sock (100% merino) and I highly doubt that I'll be changing for anything different for some timeJul 20, 2011 at 7:47 pm #1761447

I use DeFeet Wolleators in my Inov-8 Terroc 330s – a single pair at a time. Very thin, dry quickly for wool, and don't smell (too much) after 5 days on the trail.Jul 20, 2011 at 8:02 pm #1761450

I think you also have to think about where you live. Here in the North West we still havent melted or dryed out yet. If you are dealing with those conditions then you may have to deal with different drying times. Like next July (2012)before your socks and shoes dry out. Not saying you should start wearing Gortex hear, but dry times are quite a bit different than you hear in other posts.Jul 20, 2011 at 8:31 pm #1761464

Smartwool running, if I could afford them I would wear them everyday, feet just feel dry, and they are soft and slippery inside shoe.Jul 21, 2011 at 5:55 am #1761543
Mike MBPL Member
@mtwardenLocale: Montana
the PNW is indeed a wet environ, but even then I'd argue against gore-tex (except very specific conditions) as they will eventually wet out as well in heavy rain, post holing, stream crossing
the wettest environ I ever operated was in New Mexico of all places and it was hot to boot, but in two days we made over well 100 stream fords (we lost count!)- our feet NEVER totally dried out, but w/ good fitting, well draining shoes combined w/ quality socks we never as much as saw a hot spot (feet were throughly dried out at camp and clean, dry socks were donned)
^ speaking of everyday wear- I wear boots everyday for work and I bit the bullet and purchased five pair of darn tough full cushion boot socks so I can rotate them out everyday, I haven't regretted that purchase (their full lifetime warranty doesn't hurt either)Jul 21, 2011 at 6:51 am #1761555

Darn Tough merino mesh for me. Nice and thin and surprisingly durable. If you have good fitting shoes, you can use very thin socks with no blisters and they dry a lot quicker than a cushioned sock.Jul 21, 2011 at 12:23 pm #1761674

@sorefeetLocale: PNW
I'm trying a variety of light weight hiking socks with that same shoe. No liner. Current conditions are wet and includes snow (a lot!). If it ever warms up and dries out here in the PNW I'll try some liner type socks for hot days. No blister issues too date. I'm loving the roclite 315's!Jul 21, 2011 at 4:04 pm #1761776

Really thin and light low-cut synthetic socks. Some low-cut Under Armour socks, 93% polyester 7% spandex work very well with light trail runner type of shoes. For me this remains very comfortable all day, even (and sometimes especially) when wet.Jul 21, 2011 at 5:24 pm #1761807
Making the jump down to trail shoes is mostly psychological, but it does require you to become aware of foot placement to reduce ankle twisting – which is what boots normally help prevent.
For socks, I bounce between the "Darn Tough Vermont Merino Wool 1/4 Mesh Sock" (for hotter days, the mesh on the top of the foot is very awesome) and the "Darn Tough Vermont Merino Wool 1/4 Cushion Sock" which is a bit warmer and offers additional padding.
I now use both the "Inov-8 X-Talon 212" and "Inov-8 X-Talon 190" for footwear.
When I first made the transition from boots to trail runners I used the "Brooks Cascadia 5" and recently picked up the "Brooks Cascadia 6" for those times when I know I will need extra foot protection (miles after miles of hiking on shale or boulders) though I have found it a bit hard to go from a flat shoe to the comfort of the Brooks, so I try not to do this very often.
Hope this helps in some way!

Any how, it was pretty much construction almost all the next 200 miles or so. Nothing drastic, like driving on the gravel shoulder or nuthin.

Day 13
Today is Saturday, October 3rd, so it must be day 13 of my NP tour. Today we spend an hour or so waking through the lost luggage store in Scottsboro, Alabama where Barbara bought a new John Lescroart book for $3, and we got the road for Florida. The goal today was to get deep into Florida so we can make the Everglades and Key West tomorrow. After about 700 miles of driving, we ended the day about 100 miles North of the Everglades in ...

Ofcom said there was no justification for the Top Gear presenter saying "a bit ginger beer" -Cockney rhyming slang for queer.
Discussing a Daihatsu Copen during an episode of the BBC show last year, he referred to it at first as "a bit gay" before adding: "It's a bit ginger beer."
Ofcom said use of the word "gay" was not necessarily offensive, citing the Oxford English Dictionary definition of the word as "foolish, stupid and occasionally inappropriate, disapproved of and lame".
But Ofcom added: "In this edition of Top Gear, the presenter's use of a Cockney rhyming phrase made clear he intended to give a particular meaning to use of the word gay . . . ie, not to restrict its meaning simply to foolish or stupid, but clearly linking the reference to homosexual people.
Scroll down for more...
"This, in Ofcom's opinion, meant that the use of the word became capable of giving offence. In the context, there was no justification for using the word in this way."
Ofcom said the complaint had been resolved because the BBC had already warned the Top Gear production team and producers not to repeat the offence.
The corporation's own investigation upheld complaints about Clarkson's use of the word "gay" during the episode screened in July last year.
Hotter summers are leading to a boom in sales of convertibles, according to figures from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.
The trade group said registrations are running at over 100,000 a year - three times the number a decade ago.
In 1996, the figure stood at 30,000, only 1.5 per cent of total sales. The convertible sector now commands 4.3 per cent of the car market.

The Flying Car Is On Its Way to Reality
Rich Hua stashed this in Technology
Stashed in: Cars!, Flying!, History of Tech!, Auto Erotica, Just Plain Cool
Uh, the car is going to cost $280,000?
More than a hundred people have paid deposits of $10,000 each for the Transition, which will be capable of 70 miles (110 kilometers) per hour on the road and 100 mph in the sky when it finally comes to market sometime within the next three years. Dietrich is refining details on the third-generation prototype of his $279,000 vehicle before attempting certification by both the FAA, which regulates planes, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which oversees cars.
Critics say flying cars are unlikely to be both great airplanes and great automobiles. But that misses the point, says Dietrich, who explains the Transition is intended to expand the definition of an airplane, solving a number of persistent problems in the process.
First and foremost is that small planes are virtually useless in inclement weather. If a storm rolls in while you're flying the Transition, on the other hand, you can simply land at many of the 5,000-plus airports in the U.S. alone, push a button to fold up the wings and hit the road until conditions improve. At home, you can park it on the street or in the typical suburban garage. And it runs on regular unleaded gas, which is cheaper and cleaner than aviation fuel and available at your local service station.
"You're getting comparable gas mileage to your road car, but you're going 100 miles per hour over all the traffic," Dietrich says.
That makes the Transition ideal for weekend jaunts or for salespeople and others whose jobs require regular trips of a few hundred miles -- although, at the expected price, even he admits it won't be within reach of your average salesperson anytime soon.

Rachel-And so the interrogation begins
"Leighton wait up!"Christian yelled as I paced next to him.Leighton was about 10 feet ahead running hard as she could,suprisingly fast for someone in designer shoes.The wind rushed passed us and the smell of vinnila wafted through the air.Eventually,we ended back at their house and I heard Leighton bolt up the stairs and her door shut as I flew into the frount door.I settled down on the couch and chewed my lip,I hoped Leighton was okay."Do you need anything,Rachel?" Christian asked me as he stood behind the couch and stroaked my hair."No im fine"I replied smiling up at his perfect chizzeled features."I hope Leighton is too..."I told him,"I think im going to go check on her".He kissed my forehead approvingly and slid my backpack straps off my fatigued shoulders."Thankyou" we chorsed at the same time and then laughed.
I bounded up the stairs hesitantly,i hoped Leighton wasnt mad at me,however,I dont thibk she had any reason to be.I padded across the hallway until I reached her door.I heard a faint buzzing insode her room and i guessed it was her latte machine,probably brewing up a skinny machiatto-Leightons favorite."Can I come in?"I inquired as I knocked on her bedroom door.
"Who is it?"she asked.
"Guess" i told her.
"Come in".
I opened her door and saw Leighton snuggled up in her mountain of pillows sipping something hot as steam arose from the clay coffee mug.I flopped down next to Leighton and her Louis Vioutinne bookbag on her bedsheet and streached my legs.Her comforter felt as if it was a cloud and down feathers floated out of it as I sat indian style next to her.She smiled at me weakly and sighed."You okay?"I asked gently placing a hand on her shoukder blade.She slowly nodded her head and closed
her eyes,"Its just been a long day.My art teacher,Mrs Clare,is pretty strict and she told me she understood my art,even if I didnt.It made zero sense.Second,Im nervous about Alex-I didnt really see him though.Did he do anything to you?".Now was my turn to sigh.I grimaced and rubbed my temples tenderly-just thinking about Alex caused me to have a headache."I will tell you but mind it if I call Christian up?"Leighton shook her head,"Its fine by me"she replied.I called Christian and soon all of us we nesteled on the cloud."Rachel apparently had a run in with Alex"Leighton inforned Christian,who unlike her already was aware of the siruation."I know I was there."he told her.I squezzed his hand,thankful that he had been."Well,I was in science with Mr.Grello and we were outside for our nature studies.Alex was in my class and, of course,we were partners.We were looking at the bark on the maple trees near the back of the school and I suddenly felt his eyes peircing into my side...I dont know if i should tell you guys this next part...He told me he would kill me and Christian if I do tell anyone."
After Christian assured me it was okay,and that we could always stay home a few days,I took a few deep breaths and decided to continue."Well,I knew he was staring at me so I decided to turn to him.When I did,he grabbed me and told me I had to bring Leighton to him or he would kill Christian and I.I promise I wont though-Im just so scared!I dont want him to kill us!"I cried buring my face in Christian's chest.I started to sob and my shoulders shook as I cried harder.I felt pathetic for acting like such a baby but I was so scared.I couldnt stand the though of being killed,much less Christian being dead.I had so many questions,what if he found us?Could he really kill us?After another 10 minutes,I had calmed down enough that I was able to stop crying.I still was clinging to Christian though and was shaking violently.Leighton offered to make me some bubble tea and Christain carried me downstairs to the couch and covered me with a blanket.After I had my tea and they had assured me we would all be okay,I felt alot better.We all talked about the rest of our day and eventually moved to another subject:Josh Turner.
Earlier,I had ran into Josh at my locker and he had confessed he liked Leighton and wanted me and Christain to double date with them.Cheesy,yes but Josh seemed nice enough,at least to me.Leighton,on the other hand,told me he was way too forward and kinda weird.Right after we finished talking about Josh,the doorbell rang."I'll get it Leighton said leaping up and fixing her hair as she walked to the frount door.However,when she checked who it was from the door's mail slot,she wasnt as happy about our visitor."Its Josh..."she told us."Should I let him in?".Even though no one was a huge fan of Josh,we decided to let him in."Hey peeps" he said when he walked inside."Oh wow,you guys have a fricken awesome crib" he told Leighton."Does Rachel live here to?"Leighton smiled at me and gave me a freindly hug,"Not permantely...yet".Josh continued to look around,as if he was surveying the house.Christian told me he wasnt to be trusted so we decided it would be safest if we had him just sit down.Leighton was clever and took a chair so she could sit alone.I was snuggled on the couch though and Christian was in the kitchen getting himself more "kool aid" when Josh came over and asked if he could sit with me."Uhmm"i hummed as bit my lip."Josh-Im sitting there,sorry."Christian yelled from the kitchen protectively."Sorry"I relpied as Christian snuggled under the blanket next to me.Josh looked around the room,annoyed he didnt have a girl to sit with."Care to join me on the couch,beautiful?"he asked Leighton.She glaced over at me and Christain and Christian chuckled."What?" I asked him.He whispered back that he and Leighton could read each others emotions,and right now she's dreading sitting with Josh."Christian!Dont laugh!"I playfully scolded him as Leighton threw us dirty looks.Josh escorted her by having them hook elbows and she wasnt loving it.As they sat down,Josh took off Leightons jacket and then stuck his hand down her shirt."Josh!"Leighton yelled."You b*stard!What the hell are you doing?!!"She yanked his hand off her breats as Christians bolted over slapped him across the face.Josh's hands immediatly flew to his face and he stumbled onto the floor in pain."I was just trying to look at your necklace!"He yelled."You didnt have to freak out!".Leighton's face grew red and she clenched her fists."I had the right to freak out,Josh!Your hand went INTO MY SHIRT!Your such a perv!And whats so important about my necklace?!"Josh squinted hus eys and let out a deep breath,"The necklace is a sapphire necklace.Supposedly,a vampire way back named Matilda Hill had owned the necklace.I myself know alot about vampires-and Leighton,my darling,you possess many of the qualities"."A vampire,John?Really?Thats your excuse for sticking your hand down my shirt?Its called being ALBINO and if you have a problem with it,you can leave!Christian opened the frount door and forced Josh out."And dont you dare come back,you pervert!No one treats my sister like that!"Christian growled slamming the door shut in Josh's pathetic face."Its JOSH not John!"Josh yelled from outside.When Christian and I returned back inside,we found Leighton clenching her necklace close to her heart and her eyes were wide open."He knows about the necklace.He knows about mum.He knows were...vampires"Leighton whispered,causing a chill to run down my spine."He doesnt know for sure,Leighton"Christian told her."You acted like he was crazy and thats what people will think even if he does tell them"Leighton relised this and calmed down but everyone was still on edge.
"Can I sleep here tonight guys?"I asked Christain pathetically."Of course!"He said hugging me."You better,I dont want anything to happen to you".I kissed him and started to cry again.He rubbed my back and comforted me sweetly.I knew at that point I loved him and I stood on my tip toes to tell him."I love you too"he replied.After we finished whispering sweet things in each other's ears,I decided I should call my mom to tell her I was sleeping over.However,she wasnt too keen on the idea."Sleep at home!Its a school night and you need the sleep!Your coming home now,young lady!I havent even known where you have been for the past 2 hours-your grounded!"She scolded me beofre hanging up.I told Chrostiane and he sighed."Eat there and I will pick you up at 9:30 tonight so you can sleep here,your parents wont notice and I cant let you get hurt,I love you too much."He told
me.I kissed his cheek and then we told Leighton our plans."Sounds good!Im gonna tag along with you guys-thats okay?".I nodded and the three of
us set off running to get to my house.

Story Behind this Recipe
This dough is based on recipes taken from two Le Cordon Bleu cookbooks--one in Japanese and one in Finnish. It makes an amazingly light and crispy dough with a nice flavor. I altered the recipe by combining the best of both recipes, without reducing the amount of ingredients. It's a western style recipe. If you're trying to lose weight, stay away from this!

This topic is currently marked as "dormant"—the last message is more than 90 days old. You can revive it by posting a reply.
hey guys... mind to give some recommendation for physics, biology and chemistry books for beginners... books that discuss the theories in general
The Science Book and The Evolution Book by Sara Stein might be a good place for a beginner to start.
The Way Life Works: The Science Lover's Illustrated Guide to How Life Grows, Develops, Reproduces, and Gets Along by Hoagland.
Explains life in funny cartoons, but despite this fun approach is really up-to-date and gives you an excellent quick introduction to modern biology.
If you are more into the history of life:
Life: A Natural History of the First Four Billion Years of Life on Earth by Fortey
Very nice overview of the evolution of life, beautifully written.
I'm a physicist, but I guess I'm too far removed from good intro, non-textbook physics books, that I can't think of anything good there that would give you a decent comprehensive overview (although I'm sure it exists).
When I was 9 or 10 I devoured Asimov's Guide to Science. It was my favorite book and I read it over and over again. It's way dated by now, although there was another one called Asimov's New Guide to Science but that's probably dated as well. What I loved about it was that it wasn't just about science, but also the history behind it. I remember reading about various people Periodic Tables of the Elements where scientists were able to find this order to the elements long before they knew what caused the order.
Maybe there's a New New version now or maybe there's another book out there that approaches science in the same way.
I keep meaning to write up my review of Almost Everyone's Guide to Science by John Gribbin. Works up through the scales from the very smallest to the universe, covering physics, chemistry and biology along the way.
It might not be the best for an intro to science but Bill Bryson's A short history to nearly everything is increadably fun to read, he deals more with the history of ideas than with actual theory though.
If you think geology would be interesting, and it does combine physics, chemistry and biology, John McPhee's Annals of the Former World is a great read. It's actually a compilation of several books about his road trip across Interstate 80 discovering the geology of North America.
Also, for biology I think most of Stephen Jay Gould's books are good, especially the ones like Bully for Brontosaurus that are compilations of essays he wrote for Natural History Magazine. Wonderful Life is also good.
Continuing the tradition of Gould's essays for Natural History, is Neil deGrasse Tyson whose Death by Black Hole is decent. It's has an astronomy/cosmology theme.
I found Natalie Angier's The Canon: A Whirligig Tour of the Beautiful Basics of Science much like Bryson's Short History of Nearly Everything, without some of the problems Bryson's book has.
