Intraperitoneal implantation of life-long telemetry transmitters in otariids
Pinnipeds, including many endangered and declining species, are inaccessible and difficult to monitor for extended periods using externally attached telemetry devices that are shed during the annual molt. Archival satellite transmitters were implanted intraperitoneally into four rehabilitated California sea lions (
Surgeries were performed under isoflurane anesthesia and single (n = 4) or dual (n = 15) transmitters were inserted into the ventrocaudal abdominal cavity via an 8.5 to 12 cm incision along the ventral midline between the umbilicus and pubic symphysis or preputial opening. Surgeries lasted 90 minutes (SD = 8) for the 19 sea lions. All animals recovered well and were released into the wild after extended monitoring periods from 27 to 69 days at two captive animal facilities. Minimum post-implant survival was determined via post-release tracking using externally attached satellite transmitters or via opportunistic re-sighting for mean durations of 73.7 days (SE = 9.0,
The low morbidity and zero mortality encountered during captive observation and post-release tracking periods confirm the viability of this surgical technique for the implantation of long-term telemetry devices in otariids.
The determination of age-specific survival rates and long-term survival (beyond five years) of individual animals is crucial for the effective monitoring and management of wild pinniped populations
To address these issues, a new telemetry device was developed in collaboration with Wildlife Computers, Inc. (Redmond, WA) for long-term monitoring of pinnipeds: the satellite-linked life history transmitter (LHX tag), described in detail by Horning & Hill
One complication resulting from the reliance on end-of-life transmissions for all data recovery is the inability to transmit periodic 'alive' signals that are used in conventional mortality transmitters to verify proper transmitter operations. This necessitates accurately determining tag failure rates. To determine failure rates, dual LHX tags are deployed in implanted animals. In addition to increasing data recovery likelihood, the ratio of single to dual tag returns will allow the estimation of tag failure rates. The deployment of LHX tags will permit the application of new experimental designs that are based on long-term, longitudinal monitoring of individual animals and on the direct comparison of survivors to non-survivors.
Here we describe the first surgical, intraperitoneal device implantation in pinnipeds. We implanted LHX transmitters in four California sea lions (

Subjects, surgical preparations, anesthesia
Four stranded California sea lions (CSL) were selected after completion of rehabilitation procedures at TMMC (Additional file
CSL surgeries were performed at TMMC in a hospital building that included a sterile surgery room designed for pinnipeds. All SSL surgeries were performed in a specially designed portable surgical unit (Reiff Manufacturing, Walla Walla, WA) at the ASLC (Figure

The portable surgical unit used for Steller sea lion procedures
The portable surgical unit used for Steller sea lion procedures. (A) Inside view. The unit has one window and standard door, one 2 m wide door to facilitate animal transportation, a stainless steel sink and counter top, and is outfitted with hook-ups for electricity and running water, heating and ventilation, folding work benches, surgical cold light source, a wheeled, adjustable height stainless steel surgical table, and a portable anesthesia machine. (B) The surgical unit located at the quarantined holding facility of the Alaska Sea Life Center, and on the rear deck of the research support vessel MV Norseman (C).
California sea lion anesthesia was induced with a mixture of medetomidine (Domitor®, Pfizer Animal Health, Exton, PA, 70 μg/kg) and zolazepam-tiletamine (Telazol®, Fort Dodge Animal Health, Fort Dodge, IA, 1 mg/kg) by intramuscular (IM) injection delivered by hand or via dart
Anesthesia was partially reversed in animals induced with medetomidine-zolazepam-tiletamine using atipamezole (Antisedan®, Pfizer Animal Health, Exton, PA, 200 μg/kg) IM at the end of the procedure
All sea lions were given the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent flunixin meglumine (Banamine®, Schering-Plough Animal Health Corporation, Summit, New Jersey) at 1 mg/kg IM for postoperative analgesia.
Postoperative monitoring
Following implant procedures, all animals were closely monitored at each facility for periods ranging from 41 to 69 days (CSL) and 27 to 55 days (SSL). For a separate study, fecal samples were collected from animals prior to and after procedures to determine corticosteroid levels
Prior to release, all animals were marked with plastic flipper tags or by using hot iron branding (Additional file
Surgical procedure
The animals were positioned securely on a stainless steel surgical table in dorsal recumbence. An area approximately 14 cm long × 8 cm wide was clipped on the ventral abdominal midline caudal to the umbilicus and cranial to the pubic symphysis and preputial opening. The surgical site was cleaned and disinfected using routine surgical preparation with povidone iodine scrub, 70% isopropyl alcohol, and povidone iodine solution. A nonporous, sterile, fenestrated drape was placed over the surgical site and secured with towel clamps.
A longitudinal skin incision of approximately 8.5 to 12 cm in length was made along the ventral midline. The linea alba was exposed using sharp-blunt dissection through blubber and subcutaneous fat layers. The linea alba was lifted with forceps to permit penetration of the abdominal wall with a single stab incision using a scalpel blade. The linea alba was then sharp dissected with scissors, avoiding the peritoneum and viscera, to a length sufficient to pass the transmitter body (approximately 8–12 cm). The peritoneum was visualized, incised with scissors, and the opening expanded manually. The transmitters were removed from the sterilization peel pouches and rinsed in sterile saline solution to facilitate insertion. The abdominal wall was grasped on either side of the incision with Allis forceps or hand held retractors and lifted up and laterally while inserting the transmitters through the incision into the ventrocaudal abdominal cavity. Bleeding was controlled when necessary with hemostatic forceps and ligatures of 2-0 PDS II absorbable monofilament suture (Ethicon®, Inc., Somerville, NJ). The surgical incision was closed in multiple layers using size 1 or 0 PDS II sutures. If possible, the peritoneum was closed in a simple continuous pattern to contain intra-abdominal fat and viscera and ease closure of the body wall. Internal abdominal oblique muscle, linea alba, and external abdominal oblique muscle were incorporated in a simple interrupted or interrupted cruciate pattern to close the body wall. Subcutaneous fat was closed in a simple continuous pattern. Intradermal fat (blubber) was closed in a continuous mattress pattern to appose thick blubber layers. A continuous subcuticular pattern was used to appose skin layers without exposing a knot. Finally, an interrupted cruciate pattern was used on the skin to provide additional support to the skin closure. On the first two procedures in CSL, surgical stainless steel staples were used to close the skin layer. Staples were removed prior to release of the animals. Surgical skin glue was used to secure the skin incision in two SSL.
Mean surgical time was 90 minutes (SD = 8) and mean anesthetic time (from induction to recovery) was 125 minutes (SD = 13) for the 19 sea lions. Figure

Postoperative monitoring
During the immediate post-procedure recovery period (1–5 hrs), the animals were mildly to moderately lethargic and rested in sternal recumbence. Once given access to pools, the animals went into the water immediately. During the first 18 hours after surgery, signs of some abdominal discomfort associated with the incision site were noted in all animals. This was characterized by the animal choosing to lie almost exclusively in lateral recumbence or by keeping the abdominal midline elevated by folding the posterior flippers under the abdomen if lying in a sternal position. However, the animals were not observed to lick or bite at the incision site or to rub it with nose or mouth. The animals spent a considerable amount of time in the water but also repeatedly entered and exited the water with both patterns reflecting normal, pre-surgery behavior. After 18 hours, signs of discomfort (abdominal midline elevation) gradually lessened, and none were noticed after 24 – 48 hours. Appetite and food intake appeared normal, and defecation and fecal consistency was normal. Immediate postoperative abdominal temperatures were slightly elevated in some animals (38 to 39.2°C) but otherwise were within normal ranges for otariids (36.0 to 37.9°C) with the exception of three instances observed in two CSL. In these two animals temperatures briefly rose above 39°C as a result of further manipulations related to other treatment exams (two events, CSL6018) or antagonistic interactions with other sea lions (one event, CSL6039). All SSL maintained body mass and exhibited no change in body condition as estimated via deuterium oxide dilution as reported elsewhere

(C) Incision of California sea lion CSL6039 43 days post-surgery, the suture material has dissolved, the incision shows good granulation.
All four CSL were deemed releasable based on demonstration of normal behavior, absence of abnormal blood values on CBC and serum chemistry, good body condition, and healed incisions. All 15 SSL were deemed clinically healthy at the time of release based on pre-established release criteria
Post-release tracking of SSL is reported elsewhere
Implantable telemetry devices have been used for over 40 years for the study of free-ranging mammals. In a pioneering study, Rawson & Hartline
Initially, some implantation procedures were carried out under "clean but not sterile" conditions
Packaging and specifically the outermost encasing material has an effect on the likelihood of adhesion of intraperitoneal devices to intestines. This adhesion has been reported as responsible for some of the very few observed complications in intraperitoneal implants
Several studies have reported on the effects of implants on reproduction in aquatic mammals, all using free-floating telemetry implants. Reid et al.
Bodkin et al.
All early studies comparing subcutaneous to intraperitoneal implantation concluded that the latter was the preferred technique, generating fewer complications than a subcutaneous application
In this study single LHX tag mass was less than 0.1% of the mean body mass of 138.5 kg for all implanted sea lions (Additional file
Hematology and clinical chemistry data of six SSL (TJ22 – TJ 27) were reported in detail elsewhere
The comprehensive data from hematology and clinical chemistry in six SSL and from fecal and serum glucocorticoids (in CSL and SSL) showed a return to pre-surgery baseline values in all monitored clinical health parameters by six weeks following implantation with acute phase responses being the most protracted
The low morbidity and absence of any mortality encountered in this study during captive observations and post-release monitoring, in conjunction with separately published results on clinical and behavioral effects of implants, illustrate the survivability of intraperitoneal implantation surgery for the deployment of long-term telemetry devices on pinnipeds. Although animals were monitored for extended periods under highly controlled conditions, observed behavior and recovery progress did not suggest any benefits in restricting animal movement or access to seawater beyond the immediate post-surgery anesthetic recovery period.
This technique should be applicable to field deployments, in particular since surgeries could be carried out in the same environment used for the Steller sea lions at the quarantined ASLC facility (Figure

Some manufacturers place restrictions on how details of their products may be communicated.
Blazing Fast 11/16/2010
This review is from: Crucial RealSSD C300 1.8" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) CTFDDAA064MAG-1G1
I purchased this from NewEgg. It's Fast, it really is! If you want the best upgrade for your computer, upgrade your HD. Packaged in a quality casing, looks rigid and well-made. Installing it was a breeze. It loads my Win 7 64bit to desktop with no processes loading in less then 6-7 seconds (with changes made to way computer boots of course). Everything opens instantly, I can only imagine how nice it would be to run 2 or 4 of these, but i think you lose TRIM capabilities with that (not sure). Oh and almost forgot: Windows 7 perfomance Index for HD (which was my bottleneck at 5.9 on a WD SataIII caviar black 1TB, went up to 7.0 (MAX)) so now my bottleneck is my Video at 6.9 =P
Installation is a bit of a task, because i can assure you your case will not fit this natively. I personally took one of the sliding plastic HD bays and drilled some holes in it to match the ones on the SSD.. "professional install =)". 64 gb is minuscule and you always have to keep that in mind; bogging it down with lots of useless apps will make it decrease in performance over time. This requires more maintenance then your regular drive, but if your set on getting a dramatic performance increase, you'll have to deal with all the settings, trial and error and once its setup the way it should be, you'll be happy.
Other Thoughts:
Overall, I can't say that i feel good spending all that cash for 64 gigs. But when you can justify your expenses, or you crave performance, its worth it. Will the price drop next year by 50% ? absolutely. Would you be reading this if you wanted to wait until next year? Get it, you'll be happy, I game once in a while, never has anyone beaten my loading times, or even converting a avi. to dvd takes 5-6 mins max compared to 8-20 mins on a regular sata III 7200.

Amazing Second Book.
This was even better than the first, and that's saying something!! I loved book 1 but this surpassed it. Don't read the next paragraph if you haven't read book 1 because there are unavoidable spoilers in it!!
When we left book 1, John was captured and accused of multiple murders, Maria was in the morgue, presumably dead and Steven is turning into the thing he despises the most. Michael and his pack of Werewolves are coming though and no one is safe. They have to protect the secret no matter what, even if it means killing his own sister. First things first, they have to kill Sampson before he turns in the prison!!
Once again, Graeme Reynolds brings his A game to play. I usually find that book 2 is mainly a filler book, if you get my meaning. In most cases, not much happens in a second book, but that's not the case here. Reynolds upped his game and this book is so much better than the first. He ramped up everything, more action, more Werewolves, more character development, more violence and a lot more twists. He even introduces more characters and manages to wrench out our hearts with what happens to them!
Everything about this book, and indeed the previous book, is amazing. The action starts straight away and never lets up, the characters have so much depth that it's hard not to like each one, and the author put so much into the book, that it shows. The different Werewolves was, again, fascinating and I loved finding out more about them. Everything about the book was captivating and engrossing.
Again, the author doesn't shy away from violence and gore, nor does he shy away from killing off characters, which I loved. The story is dark but deliciously so! I so want to see these books made into a movie because I think they would rock.
Anyway, I could keep gushing about the book but I may spoil things so I'll stop! All I'll say is Go Buy This NOW. You will not be disappointed.
I listened to the audio and once again Chris Barnes delivered. Like the first, he really knows when to add tension and when to pull back. He draws you into the story and makes you a part of it. If you are looking for some new audio books then check out his work!

More bite than bark.
I definitely would, being out and about at work doesn't really give me much time to read on breaks and being a father of a demanding 3yr old takes up more time at home.
A stand out moment would be the breakout/assassination attempt on john after the court hearing, the author inserted a wee soul tug moment (but i wont spoil it for you)
This is the third audiobook I've heard by Chris Barnes, this being a sequel to one. The narrator once again goes to prove that an audiobook done properly can be a great benefit to an author. His style and flow are once again spot on with a nice clear rich tone to his story telling and good voice acting thrown in, the recording is crystal clear and I feel that he is growing in confidence in his abilities and following him on social media know he is improving his recording facilities all the time.
If you're looking for something new to listen to, check out this (obviously book one first) and if there is a sequel to this hopefully Chris Barnes will be producing/narrating it again.
Graeme Reynolds keep up the good work, a great series of books and cant wait to see what comes next.

A Living
I'm unsure
Whether to be living the dream
Or to be dreaming of "the living."
Make a living, they say...
Like I'm some empty vessel
In search of an assignment so I can be
A living isn't some means to an end
Some sort of agreement made between people
It isn't some machine designed by man
If it was, then where's the blueprints?
Where's the user manual?
The rule book.
Make a living, they say...
Get by...
Make ends meet...
Well I ask very simply,
What do you making a living out of?
And is it cheaper to make a death?

PROSECUTOR General Johannes Tomana was was today granted US$1 000 bail by Harare magistrate Vakayi Chikwekwe in a case in which he is facing charges of abuse of office.
He was arrested last night.
The state alleges that Tomana authorised the release of two accused persons; Solomon Makumbe and Silas Pfupa, who were facing charges of attempting to bomb Gushungo Dairy Farm belonging to the first family in Mazowe.
The state further alleges that Tomana made a unilateral decision to release the two accused thereby abusing his office as a public officer or alternatively obstructing the course of justice.
Tomana, who is represented by Advocate Thabani Mpofu applied for bail, arguing that he acted in his capacity as the Prosecutor General and his constitutional powers to turn the two accused into state witnesses.

Adam Lambert has done it again! His latest concert on his Glam Nation tour was at the Paramount Theatre in Denver, Colorado on July 17, 2010. At this sold-out, 1870-seat venue, the Glam Nation Tour reached epic heights in musicality and production quality.
When I saw Adam in his first solo concert at Fantasy Springs, I thought "this is great – but I can't wait until he has the time and money to produce something that lets his creative side come out more". I knew he had more – way more – to give. And he did.
Adam Lambert's current concert tour, the Glam Nation tour, is just the beginning of our amazing journey with Adam in a long line of concert tours to come. I'm not only thrilled with how his first concert tour has turned out – I am totally blown away! But then, it's not the first time Adam has blown me away. I'm sure you know the feeling.
The theme that runs through the concert is one thing that sets the Glam Nation Tour apart. Adam talks about love, relationships, and life throughout the concert as introductions to his songs. At other times, he just lets his feelings out, interacting with the audience. As they say, it's all good.
Before the Concert
On to to show itself… Before the concert, Adam gave an interview on Denver's Mix 100 radio. You can listen to that here (Pt. 1) and here (Pt. 2). No pictures, just a shot of him to longingly stare at while you listen to his voice. This is fun to listen to. I'm listening to it in the background as I write this.
Adam also had a Meet & Greet courtesy of local radio stations. Radio station winners got to meet Adam in person
Videos of Adam Lambert's Denver Concert: the Full Concert
Allison Iraheta opened the show. You can watch some of the videos of her in concert here and here. I love Allison and am so glad she is touring with Adam. She has such a sexy, sultry voice. Hopefully we will all get to know Allison better on this tour and support her by buying her CD's.
Adam's set list at the Denver concert was the Opening Medley with Voodoo, Down The Rabbit Hole, and Ring Of Fire, folowed by Fever, Sleepwalker, WWFM, Soaked, Aftermath, an Interlude with Sure Fire Winners, Strut, Music Again, If I Had You as the finale, and the encore – Mad World and Whole Lotta Love.
A huge thanks goes out to Suz526 and dnewton98 for such high quality videos of Adam Lambert singing at the Denver concert 7-17-10.
To see pictures of the concert, check out this link.
Here is the whole concert, in order:
Adam Lambert's Glam Nation Tour at the Paramount: Denver Colorado, July 17, 2010
Opening Medley with Voodoo, Down the Rabbit Hole, Ring of Fire
Strut At the beginning of this, Adam comments, "I might not be able to breathe, but I can dance." At the mile-high city, Adam has been tossed into an altitude that makes it hard to breathe without any chance to adjust. Yet he dances and sings like crazy. He holds nothing back. The man must be in amazing shape.
Finale-IIHY: Adam introduces the band members and lets them show off their skills. Camilla is hot on that keyboard! And of course, Longineau, Tommy, and Monty are outstanding, as usual. Mid-way into IIHY he introduces his dancers. Someone's head is in the way for part of this, but watch Adam's face as he watches the dancers. Adam dances with his choreographer at the end of this. The way Adam rolls his body makes my heart race!
At the end of the concert, the concert-goers had to have been on such a high! I know that seeing something on YouTube doesn't feel like actually being there. I can only imagine. If you want to have a glimmer of what it feels to be there at the finale of an Adam Lambert concert, watch this one.
Encore Adam's encore followed the finale. His upbeat version of "Mad World" is followed by one of my all-time Adam Lambert favorites, his sultry, sensuous, psychedelic version of "Whole Lotta Love".
So there you have it – I most humbly submit to you Adam's latest performance on his Glam Nation Tour. I can't wait to see him myself in about a week. Even watching the videos over and over doesn't spoil it for me, 'cause I simply can't get enough of Adam!
Hope to see some of you at the concerts!
– Sandra Essary aka "Sandy"

As the delegations arrived at the plaza at the entrance to Yad Vashem, there was a group of some 50 soldiers and high school students who were leaving the International School at Yad Vashem and were asked to wait on the side for a few minutes while the delegation arrived and entered the museum. Lt. General Ashkenazi arrived first, and, spotting the soldiers and students off to the side, he headed directly over to them to the sound of cheers and clapping from group. Several minutes later, Admiral Mullen arrived and he too, went to greet the group, and said, "It is a great thrill to be here, and to be back in your country. I have a great relationship with your chief of defense. As I look around at your very bright eyes and your very young faces, I just want you to know that one of the reasons we do this is to make sure your future is secure."
After his visit to the Holocaust History Museum and Children's Memorial, Adm. Mullen remarked: "I just want to express my appreciation to all those who have worked so hard to make Yad Vashem possible. It is such an important place to remember the tragic side of humanity and we are so committed to making sure nothing like this ever ever happens again...I specifically asked to make sure in a compressed tour that I could see the children's part of the museum…So much of what we are focused on, all of us who serve in any country, is a brighter future for our children…It is an honor for me to be here with Gen. Ashkenazi, and all those who have sacrificed so much for your country's future and made such a difference for the future. It's very special."
Gen. Ashkenazi added, "It is a privilege and an honor to be here with Adm. Mike Mullen, my colleague, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States, who is also a dear friend to myself, and the IDF, and the State of Israel…I think both of us understand our commitment that such an atrocity should never happen again."

Love... is running for it.
20:00 pm
I've been at my ballet show, and during the interval, we've (Liza, Kate, Alice, Charlotte and I ) decided to go for a walk around town. In the dark... Are you sure this is safe?
We're near waitrose when we hear a muffley shout, like a drunkard's. "Yer' ight, pree Ladie'?"
We turn our heads slightly and see 3 men abut 50 yards away, looking and whistling at us. Kate wispers to us all.
"We're going to walk until we get round that corner, so we don't look like we're scared. Then we're going to run very fast back to the theartre"
We do as she says and run for our lives round all the little backstreets to one of the Waitrose entrances, and run in (getting some odd lookes from the ordinary shoppers) when we see that the men have walked in through the other entrance. They haven't spotted us, so we wait for them to go round the other side of the shop, then run through that entrance back to the theatre. They've spotted us now, and they're running after us. I've already dialed 99 on my phone, but we're backstage now, and they can't get us anymore. We're safe.

We loaded up a couple of coolers with delicious treats and enjoyed them as we floated.

That was where Shenandoah River Adventures was actually located, so they came and picked us and our canoe up and we ...

While we have had our fair share of improvements via custom firmware as of late, some would say Samsung haven't done enough to address the issues in the current release firmware. Or look at perhaps porting Android over to the i8910. Give users the option of the buying the phone with either two operating systems. Android or Symbian. Sounds like a good idea right?
Well forum user Anphase has decidid to take this up with Samsung, he's posted an online petition. Asking for Samsung to improve on the firmware and looking at a possible Andriod port for the phone. There are over two thousand signatures now and if you think Samsung should focus on the i8910 and its firmware why not check out the forum post. While your at it sign the petition too.
Anphase has also done some hard work, writting up a huge report with photos on the issues with the phone and its current firmware. One of the larger ones being the 720p HD video isn't its advertised 24fps. Its more or less 22 fps or less at times. Us i8910 users are slightly disappointed in.

New York Giants unrestricted free agent quarterback David Carr will visit the 49ers this weekend, according to Mike Garafolo of the Star-Ledger. Carr's also expected to be in the mix with the Cardinals, so it's likely that his time with the Giants has come to a close. We'll soon find out how much faith the Giants have in former Oklahoma/Sam Houston quarterback Rhett Bomar.
Keep in mind that the Redskins just released backup quarterback Todd Collins, who led Washington to the playoffs in '08. And there's always the Jeff Garcia option, although he's never really fancied himself as a backup. Mark Brunell had a great influence in the Saints' locker room. He's be a good option -- as long as he wasn't called upon to play more than a game or two.
I think you'd feel a lot safer with Collins or Garcia. Then you could try to get Bomar ready for the No. 2 job. Here are some other candidates off the league's official unrestricted free-agent list: Panthers QB Josh McCown, Lions QB Patrick Ramsey, Texans QB Rex Grossman (likely headed to Redskins because of Kyle Shanahan), Dolphins QB Chad Pennington (Hmmm...), Steelers QB Charlie Batch, Rams QB Kyle Boller.
Another possibility is former Bills quarterback J.P. Losman.

We have a couple of people who receive an error message: 'File not found' or 'Path does not exist' when downloading PDF files from our website.
I had a fix for the error with Acrobat v5.0, but it doesn't work with v6.0. There's nothing posted on the Adobe support site, (the old fix (a file association tweak) for v5.0 is no longer posted - fortunately I kept a printout to refer to when needed).
Downloading and running the update for 6 didn't take care of the problem and it seems to be fairly random - one person with Win2000 and 6.0 Professional never sees the error, while another does. Same with XP.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

London, June 3 : US geneticists have come up with an idea on how make the common grass bahiagrass (Paspalum notatutri) more suitable for use in gardens, and for planting along roadsides.
Fred Altpeter of the University of Florida in Gainesville says that the popularity of this grass lies in the fact that it flourishes in poor-quality soil, is resistant to many insects, and tolerates conditions of drought and heat.
He points out that the bahiagrass grows 60cm seed heads during the summer, and need to be mowed regularly.
The researcher further says that the grass has a low-density growth pattern, which allows weeds to invade.
Altpeter says that both these problems can be solved just by adding one gene to bahiagrass from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, which is considered to be one of the favourite plants of every geneticist.
He says that the gene called Arabidopsis ATHB 16 protein stops the growth of seed heads, and encourages the grass to spread out more underground.
According to New Scientist magazine, the genetically modified plant has been found to perform well in tests.

This has been a crazy week for us. My daughter is teething. My husband has surgery on his toe on Monday and as if the stress of both of those things wasn't enough for me,I came down with an AWFUL stomach bug Monday night.
Yesterday was kind of a "just get through today" type day.
I woke up this morning feeling much better and decided to make a huge pot of chicken soup in hopes no one in my family catches what I had.
I really make a kick ass chicken soup.
As a matter of fact, after my broth was done tonight before I added the pasta (because I'm all about the chicken noodle soup), I might have even said to myself "Hmm..this is the best broth ever". I then had a quick fantasy of my husband drooling over my soup and telling me how good it was. I did my little victory dance and pulled out the pasta to add.
I decided to use Pastina so Sweet Pea could have some. For those of you who don't know what Pastina is, it is little teeny tiny star noodles.
In a hurry to get the baby's bottle started and dice up the chicken, I dumped a box of Pastina in...decided it didn't look like enough and then dumped another. Gave it a little stir and carried on with what I was doing.
I'll admit it before I made the Pastina for Sweet Pea...I probably haven't had it in like 15 years. When I made it for the baby, I made about a 1/4 of a cup and she was eating it for a few days.
I clearly wasn't thinking...
I consider myself a fairly intelligent girl....
Sometimes I just have these moments where I am all like "WHY THE HELL DID I JUST DO THAT?!?"
Do you want to know when I realized it this time?
When I grabbed the soup ladle, and spooned PASTINA into the bowl. I looked in the pot and there was about half Pastina and half broth. I spooned some broth over the Pastina and mentioned to my husband that I might have added a little too much Pastina.
Only here's the problem....by the time he got to his bowl, It was 3/4 Pastina and 1/4 broth.
By the time I got back to the pot to serve myself the pot showed probably 9/10 Pastina and 1/10 broth.
I felt like Strega Nona!
By the time, I had sat down to eat, my poor chicken and carrots were being smothered by teeny tiny little stars. There was no broth left....in my bowl....in my husband's bowl...or even in the large pot on the stove.
Would you like some soup with that Pastina?
My victory dance was a distant memory. My husband's oohing and ahhing were transformed into loud giggles and these comments:
"Oh. I thought I spilled some! Who am I kidding? This doesn't spill?"
"I feel like I swallowed a huge ball of glue".
After stating I was thirsty, he said "No kidding, the Pastina is soaking up your insides as well".
I had to laugh...
I mean....it really WAS funny!
The thing is ...it tasted REALLY GOOD! Even Sweet Pea ate some!
So here is my recipe for Chicken Soup Pastina:
Take the BEST chicken soup recipe you have and make it in a large pot. When it's done, add two boxes of Pastina. Don't worry about it not seeming to be a lot! That crap is like The Duggars...it just keeps multiplying!
And there you have it! I know what you all are making for dinner tomorrow night!!!
P.S. I left it in the pot to put the baby to bed ....who wants to take bets that it over took the pot and is all over my kitchen floor by now!?!?

Wellcome back home of your pain
The sky was a light orange, the clouds barly even there it was a good day for flying. Now only if it wasn't to a place Alexis hated, but she made a deal. She was waiting out by the plain waiting for her passanger to aravie. Just a minute before 7am the time she told him to be there or it was off he got there. The boy's hair was very short and spiky, the color was a sand kind of color even in the orange light, he was trying to catch his breath. It was short and hollow he hopped into the plain. "Just made it, lucky" Alexis smiled as she put on her goggles and faced the glowing south sky. "Um what should I can you? after all I have to thank you right?" he asked this just as they took of "foxy just fine" Alexis said with no emotion what so ever. She was trying not to turn it around and fail, after all we all have to face our fears at some point right? this was her's after what happened at that house, in that family, in that room. Alex's mind went back to the life she left there. Did anyone even notice? did they miss her? it took her back to what happened in that house. Did anyone ever know? would her dad find her? because the last thing that'll happen is they make her go back. "what your name?" just after they hit the 2 hour mark in the ride she broke the silence and she could feel his smile warm up the sky without even looking back. "Nick"

And the Lights Go On...
Bright light. Oncoming car? A paramedic's flashlight? The light at the end of the tunnel?
Nope. A spotlight. A circle of golden light that brought with it heat. It was one thing they so rarely mentioned when they spoke of...
"Hey! Over here. Me, the one on the floor. One of your protagonists!" came the cry of a guy who so obviously had delusions about his own importance.
"Bloody hell. You're no better than all the rest of those wankers. And where's Davy?" The surprised and dismayed question was, unfortunately for Joe, followed by a look around at what little was illuminated by the spotlight in the dark. Joe discovered himself still wearing the adorable pair of panties - pink, lace along the edges, with a little white bow on the front - and realized that perhaps continuity was not all it was cracked up to be.
"You got that right. Now how about explaining what happened? Where am I? Why is it dark? Did I actually die this time?" The barrage of questions rose in volume even as it rose in excitement. Dead. He might just be dead. If he was dead then that meant... oh dear.
Joe's eyes widened as he heard a distinctive sound, although how he knew it he was unsure. It was the click of chessmen on a board; soft sounds of marble moving against marble, and there was a cackle of victory, followed shortly by the sound of a pawn rolling across the flooring. As it came to a stop in front of him Joe lifted it in his hand, cupping it gently.
Right before he tossed it right back into the darkness. "A pawn? Now we both know I am far more important than some bloody pawn. Without me you don't have-" and the light dimmed over Joe as the light came on slowly over another scene, showing Davy leaning against the inside of his door, tears falling relentlessly down his cheeks.
"I had to, Joe, don't you see? It would never have worked between us. You just don't care enough about my needs. You hardly ever compliment me on my flowing blond lockes anymore. I do it all for you and you just never seem to notice. See? I wrote about it in my diary. Right here!" He lifted his hands to display an open diary, actually a relatively masculine journal - but who was keeping track of that? - and stabbed a finger at the middle of the lefthand page. "I got highlights, and did you notice? Did you ever once say, 'That looks nice, Davy, did you get your hair done?' No. You didn't even notice. It's like you've forgotten everything we've been to one another."
"Now wait just a minute," the voice rose out of the darkness as a figure slowly became aparent at the edge of the light spilling from the visible scene. The pink panties stood out easily against lightly tanned skin and a dusting of hair. His hands suddenly moved to cover his groin in a vain attempt to retain some modesty or dignity.
"Fat chance of that with you lot busting in on two mates out in the scary woods about to have a good adventure. But no. You bunch of wankers come in here and louse it all up."
Davy's head lifted, his eyes searching as he suddenly turned, looking at the door with surprise and hope on his face. "Joe? Is that you? If you just apologize and admit to what you've done wrong, if you just try a little harder, I would take you back." Tears shimmered in his eyes and his cheeks flushed with the hope that burned in him.
"I give up," whined Joe as he curled up in the darkness, doing his best to cover the panties on the off chance that there was anyone to see him. Of course there was, a fact he knew all too well. "Fine. Do what you want with this story. Make it as ridiculous as you can. See if I care. I'll just-"
The blare of an oncoming train suddenly drowned out the frustrated and demoralized Joe, a new light spreading in the darkness, overwhelming the view of Davy or any hint of Joe in the darkness.

Getting a view of this familiar site may be as easy as picking up a postcard, but making the arduous journey to Australia's remote red centre to see Uluru in the flesh is well worth it. The majesty of this sight can only be truly discovered in person. Dating back more than 700 million years ago, the 'big rock' remains at the spiritual core of one of the oldest living people in the world, Australia's Aboriginals. Thirty years ago, this sacred land was handed back from Westerners to its traditional Aboriginal owners, Uluru declared a dual natural and cultural World Heritage Site. Gone are the days when 'I climbed Ayers Rock' t-shirts ruled, today the tours of Uluru take a step back in time, offering an inspiring education into Aboriginal culture, folklore and customs. As close to the nation's geographical centre as you can get, mythical Uluru remains forever at the heart of Australians and travellers alike.
