The Band Room (Based on true stories)
My friends and I decided to share our wacky adventures that we have almost every day after school in the same room. The Band Room.
The Saxaloonist
The bell rang for school to end and my friend and I quickly exited our last class. We went to her locker (since I hardly ever have to go to mine) and I told her I would meet her in the Band Room.
I walked down the crowded hall and into the room where crazy things happen every day.
The Band Room.
Once in the room I set my things on the closest chair and went over to the closest band buddy I could find. We talked and went crazy for a minute then Mr. President (he is the president of our band class) and his two bodyguards entered and the Royal Assassin. You see Mr. President came up with all these names for most of us. Like I'm the Royal Thief for example. I tend to have the habit of opening Mr. President's backpack and grabbing something then quickly find the safest place to hide it.
I walked over to Mr. President and his bodyguards.
"Hey guys!" I said
"Hello Iguana." said the Royal Assassin. Most of my friends call me that. Then my friends came into the room. One of them is not it the band and in this story she we call her The Witness. We joked around and began talking and today had been a day with a lot of music playing so I had this song from Veggietales playing about belly buttons. I started singing it then my friend Vonederhousen (I'm not sure how you spell it) began singing it with me.
I noticed then that Mr. Presidents locker was still open because he has a friend that knows his combo and she had opened it and was playing with his drumsticks and pad (a drum pad) so I walked over and attempted to steal one of the drumsticks but then his friend bit me!
Seriously though. The Band Room can be a dangerous place. Especially at Simon Dork Jr High. (that's not really what it's called)

[Video] Loving the Prophet (sa)
Here is a brief but amazing lecture by Mufti Ismail Menk on how to love the Prophet (sa), and glad tidings given in the Quran that those who love him and obey him will be near him on the Day of Judgement and in Jannah as well. This is mentioned in Surah an-Nisa:
"And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger – those will be with the ones upon whom Allah has bestowed favor of the prophets, the steadfast affirmers of truth, the martyrs and the righteous. And excellent are those as companions." (An-Nisa 4:69)

Wudhoo as made by the Prophet (sa)
Shaykh Khatri demonstrates the prophetic wudhoo, as taught to him by his teacher with an unbroken chain right back to the Prophet (sa).
TED Talk: Where is home?
More and more people worldwide are living in countries not considered their own. Writer Pico Iyer – who himself has three or four "origins" – meditates on the meaning of home, the joy of traveling and the serenity of standing still.
Why you should listen to him:
Acclaimed travel writer Pico Iyer began his career documenting a neglected aspect of travel – the sometimes surreal disconnect between local tradition and imported global pop culture. Since then, he has written ten books, exploring also the cultural consequences of isolation, whether writing about the exiled spiritual leaders of Tibet or the embargoed society of Cuba.
Iyer's latest focus is on yet another overlooked aspect of travel: how can it help us regain our sense of stillness and focus in a world where our devices and digital networks increasing distract us? As he says: "Almost everybody I know has this sense of overdosing on information and getting dizzy living at post-human speeds. Nearly everybody I know does something to try to remove herself to clear her head and to have enough time and space to think. … All of us instinctively feel that something inside us is crying out for more spaciousness and stillness to offset the exhilaration of this movement and the fun and diversion of the modern world."
Nouman Ali Khan: Make Dua Now!
This amazing video will give you chill – we do so many sins, but still Allah (swt) is so Gracious and Merciful that He is waiting to answer our Duas.
Nouman Ali Khan: The Shame Series

TED Talk: What will future jobs look like?
Economist Andrew McAfee suggests that, yes, probably, droids will take our jobs — or at least the kinds of jobs we know now. In this far-seeing talk, he thinks through what future jobs might look like, and how to educate coming generations to hold them.
Why you should listen to him:
Andrew McAfee studies the ways that information technology (IT) affects businesses, business as a whole, and the larger society. His research investigates how IT changes the way companies perform, organize themselves and compete. At a higher level, his work also investigates how computerization affects competition, society, the economy and the workforce.
He's a principal research scientist at the Center for Digital Business at the MIT Sloan School of Management. His books include Enterprise 2.0 and Race Against the Machine (with Erik Brynjolfsson). Read more on his blog.

"A porker corker" was how Israeli newspaper Haaretz this week headlined its mocking story of publisher the Oxford University Press's decision to ban pig from its books "to avoid offending Jews and Muslims".
The OUP's latest editorial policy is the kind of decision made by a boardroom of publishing wonks who spout sentences about "deliverables" and failed to ask a single Jew or Muslim for an opinion. For while many don't eat pork, reading about it isn't an issue.
In fact, as one observant Jewish friend posted on Facebook with a link to the story: "Ridiculous. At 5am most mornings, Peppa Pig is pretty close to God in my house."
Such posturings to political correctness do more than put Peppa, Babe and Pig Will and Pig Won't on the endangered species list. They risk obfuscating a far more serious issue: the rising tide of anti-Semitic or anti-Muslim incidents that do offend or violate or threaten Jews or Muslims in this country — which have nothing to do with pigs in picture books.
This week a doom-laden stream of articles declared that the "majority of British Jews feel they have no future in UK". You can see why some might, given the poll was accompanied by another YouGov survey showing that 45 per cent of Britons agreed with at least one of four anti-Semitic statements put to them, such as "Jews chase money more than other British people" and "Jews talk about the Holocaust too much in order to get sympathy".
But while most Jewish Londoners do feel more worried about their safety in the aftermath of both the Paris killings and an increase in anti-Semitic attacks in this country, from cemetery desecrations to synagogue threats, that, sadly, is a normal side-effect of terror.
The vast majority have no intention of upping sticks — mostly because London is a diverse, enjoyable place for people of all colours and creeds to live. In fact, 88 per cent of a more balanced survey for the Jewish Chronicle this week said thoughts of emigrating hadn't crossed their minds despite last week's Paris atrocities. That's partly because police, politicians and community groups have ramped up security in response to the higher risks. France spent too long closing its eyes to anti-Semitism: a Jewish-owned pharmacy was gutted by arson, a rabbi and three children were murdered at a Jewish school in Toulouse, then last week's kosher supermarket terror showed that the French government did not take the issue seriously enough. We must hope the authorities here are not making those same mistakes.
In London, most of the Jewish community finds its singling out for hatred bewildering — a largely navel-gazing, passive religion which brings Challah bread to the supermarket and whose members have been showered with a disproportionate number of Nobel prizes for helping improve society.
"Why," someone tweeted this week, "do the Jewish deserve a tag about anti-Jewish prejudice? No other ethnic groups have tags like anti-Semitism."
"Oh," came one response, "how I wish there was no need for a special name."
That there remains that need is undoubtable. But while some Jews may always find comfort in the thought of Israel as the ultimate emergency refuge, British shores too are felt to be safe — porky books and all. Long may that continue.

His private life was not above reproach either. Although married for over 40 years to a distant cousin notorious for her prudery and narrow- mindedness, he managed to keep up the facade of a devoted husband and father, reproaching King Edward for his lapses, while himself enjoying extra-marital liaisons, at least one of which resulted in the birth of a child. This was hushed up far more effectively than Wilhelm's close friendship with the bisexual Count von Eulenburg and others, culminating in scandal which threatened the German throne and almost caused the shattered Kaiser's abdication.
Relatives and ministers in Berlin and London frequently cast doubts on his sanity, and with good reason. His mother nearly died in giving birth to him and at first he was thought to be stillborn. There is a plausible theory that a lack of oxygen in the first few minutes of his life caused irreversible brain damage. His physical handicap was beyond doubt; during delivery his neck and shoulder muscles were damaged, and despite treatment his left arm remained several inches shorter than the right, while his left hand was too weak to grip or hold anything heavier than a piece of paper. Recent research has also suggested that he may have had porphyria, the inherited constitutional metabolic disorder which darkened his ancestor King George III's life, and from which Wilhelm's mother and eldest sister likewise suffered.
One of the Kaiser's earlier biographers has noted that he should not be held to account for the catastrophe of the Great War; one should "blame instead the system which could assign so onerous a post to someone who had so little chance of filling it with credit". On balance, however, it is difficult to exonerate him from the charge that he was partially to blame by deliberately surrounding himself with the hawks among his generals, who by the time of the "war council" in 1912 were seeking any pretext for the German empire to prove itself victorious in war.
Defeat, abdication and exile in the Netherlands followed, but despite his disgust at Kristallnacht, Hitler's night of anti-Jewish thuggery in 1938, the ex-Kaiser remained inconsistent to the last. In 1929 he had anticipated the Nazis' "final solution" by calling Jews "a nuisance that humanity must get rid of in some way or other". In June 1940, after German troops entered Paris, he telegraphed congratulations to Hitler and called for champagne. Five months later he wrote that the hand of God was creating a new world and working miracles: "We are becoming the US of Europe under German leadership, a united European continent."
He died in June 1941, aged 82, but his aspirations lived on in the German leadership, surviving the defeat of Hitler, the partition of Germany and the destruction of the Berlin Wall. In September 1995 Chancellor Helmut Kohl advocated the political union of Europe, proclaiming that "if there is no monetary union then there cannot be political union, and vice versa". The ghost of His Imperial Majesty would have approved.

Rooney sued the software group late last year, claiming new chief executive Bijan Khezri had bad-mouthed him all over town, breaching an agreement reached when he left the company last July.
Baltimore has agreed to 'pay a small sum of money plus legal costs' as part of an out-of-court settlement. The amount is undisclosed but is believed to be significantly less than it may have had to hand over if Rooney had won the case.
Rooney had claimed Khezri said there was a 'vacuum of leadership' during Rooney's time at the helm. He also alleged Khezri told journalists that Rooney was 'almost like a university professor walking in and saying this would be a great job if there were not any students'.
'His (Rooney's) attitude was like 'it would be a great business if we hadn't had all these stupid customers to worry about',' Khezri is alleged to have said. 'Baltimore confused the market and this confusion in the market was probably a mirror picture of confusion in Baltimore itself.'
Khezri is alleged to have said Rooney's £450,000 salary was 'outrageous and unacceptable'. Khezri believed £150,000 was as much as a chief executive of a company such as Baltimore should be paid.
Rooney's victory will leave a sour taste in the mouths of Baltimore shareholders, who have seen the company's value fall from £5.1bn at the peak of the hi-tech boom to £33m today.Reuse content

At a Tokyo-area press conference on May 4 promoting the May 5 Seiko Golden Grand Prix Tokyo track and field meet at Tokyo's National Stadium, the new star of the men's 100 m, Yoshihide Kiryu (17, Rakunan H.S.), appeared confident before his shot at the first Japanese men's sub-10 clocking, revealing that his mental keywords ahead of the race are "fun" and "second half."
At the April 29 Oda Memorial Meet Kiryu ran 10.01, the all-time second-fastest Japanese men's time and both tying the world junior record and clearing the Japanese Federation's criteria for the Moscow World Championships team. "That time surprised me too," said Kiryu. "but I've gotten myself together mentally and I'm ready to take on this race."
Having reviewed videos of his race at home he feels that he now understands what he needs to do to achieve a 9-second clocking. The first point he brought up was improving the second half of his race. "The start and the middle part of the race were good, but in the second half I lost power in my stride," he said. "I was too conscious of the finish line and leaned 10 meters too soon. My goal this time is to stay focused straight ahead." By raising his line of focus he plans to run through the line and believes that will allow him to hit his time goal.
Kiryu also places importance on his mental state. "I always enjoy my running and get good times as a result, so this time I want to go out there and have some fun when I run," he said. "If I stay relaxed I think I'll run a fast time." Tokyo will be his first time racing foreign competition, but even so Kiryu was confident and self-composed at the press conference, without stress, anxiety or aggression but hopeful and looking forward to the main event. Asked about what foreign athletes he would most like to race, the high school senior brought up 9.58 world record holder Usain Bolt of Jamaica. Joining Bolt sub-10 is only the first step on the road to Kiryu achieving his dreams. "I want to run a faster time than I did at the Oda Memorial Meet," he said. "I'm ready to put myself into making that happen."
Yoshihide Kiryu: Born Dec. 15, 1995 in Hikone, Shiga. 17 years old. Senior at Rakunan H.S. in Kyoto. Played goalkeeper on his elementary school's soccer team but began running as a first-year at Rakunan J.H.S. At last October's Gifu National Sports Festival 100 m set a world youth record of 10.21, then improved that to 10.19 in November. 175 cm, 68 kg. Lives with his parents and older brother.

Keeps its promise
By Tiger Lily
from Toronto, Ontario
I shampoo, use a thickening spray, blowdry and then use this hairspray. Not only is my hair fuller after use, it stays that way for at least a couple of days. And as I like my hair to look fuller, I gave it such a good rating!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Tried It and Liked It

I like products that are quick, easy and do the job. This volume spray fills the bill. I 'wash, mousse, and volume spray' and I'm good to go for the whole day.

These Reviews are bogus 01/04/2014
This review is from: Microsoft Office Home and Business 2013 Product Key Card - 1 PC
Nothing I would say that stands out, lot's of little things. The ability to install apps in Office (like everything these days). The linking of the various parts of office continues and I like it. OneNote is outstanding and anybody who wants a flexible database should look at OneNote. I use it heavily and have turned on many clients to it. Microsoft has made the app version free for a long time for all platforms, that should tell you something. And if you network through SharePoint you don't ever have to worry about storing it on another companies server and crossing your fingers they don't get broken into (Evernote, Snapchat, Adobe, Facebook, I could go on).
The new default theme. White, Light Grey, Dark Grey. Suuuuccckkksssss! Not sure what crack addict at Microsoft thought it looked good
Other Thoughts:
I have never seen such a bunch of garbage from these reviews. Get off of the Microsoft hating bandwagon. Either people have know idea how to install software or they're lying shill for some other company. This is not a subscription, you own it. Office 365 is the subscription. You create a Microsoft account. Big whoop. Like Apple makes you create an Apple ID. And Google requires you to create a Gmail account for Android. Please, give me a break. I have installed this hundreds of times for clients. The paid and subscriptions and never had a single issue.

The Brahms double concerto and Bruckner's second symphony make for a curious concert pairing. The one is autumnal and full of equanimity, a late orchestral summation of Brahms's ability to conjure sturdy musical oaks from small acorns. The other is ambitious and disjunctive, teeming with novel orchestration and symphonic false trails, very much a product of an emerging Brucknerian style whose features are not yet fully formed.
Yet there was never any doubt that Vladimir Jurowski had the measure of this key Bruckner work. With his eight double basses ranged at the back of the orchestra behind the brass, Jurowski had clearly thought hard about how he wanted to project the Brucknerian sound, and a similar attentiveness marked his pacing and balancing of the whole sprawling score, to which the LPO responded with terrific commitment. It would be silly to pretend that the second symphony, here performed in its more rarely heard 1872 version, later much revised with the order of the two inner movements reversed, is a perfectly finished piece. But that is exactly its fascination. The episodic but extended finale, in particular, is as far away from the classically nurtured world of Brahms as a symphonic movement of that period could be. But the second has a special place in the heart of any true Brucknerian because of its raw and striving authenticity, which Jurowski captured grippingly.
The chief challenge of the darkly textured Brahms concerto is the balancing between the violin and cello soloists on the one hand and the soloists with the orchestra on the other. Here again Jurowski's musicianship was always evident, his restraint allowing Julia Fischer's violin and Daniel Müller-Schott's cello space to breathe and converse without forcing the tone. Fischer's crisp clean phrasing was particularly engaging, and the perky contrast with Müller-Schott's more expansive sound was a feature of the opening movement. But they sang with one voice in the rapturous andante and the scampering finale.

Comments Off on Back To School Safety
CAA – Canadian Automobile Association
The smell of freshly sharpened pencils and just opened packages of loose leaf paper will soon be filling the air as students gear up to go back to school. While new supplies and old friends may be the focus for your child, it's important to make sure they start the year off safely by reviewing these important tips before the first day of classes rolls around.
Children walking or biking to school need to be familiar with the route they will be taking. Choose a direct route away from busy streets, and make sure you practice the route with them a few times before school starts to make sure they're comfortable. Make sure they have a travel buddy – a friend, sibling or neighbour – so they aren't making the journey alone.
Remind children to pay attention to their surroundings when walking or biking. That means no texting while walking or bilking, and leaving headphones in their backpacks so they can hear what's going on around them. Review traffic safety and remind your child to wait at crosswalks and to look both ways before crossing the street!
Make sure your child knows not to talk to strangers and never to get in a vehicle with someone they don't know, no matter what they say. Tell them not to venture away from school grounds and to tell a teacher or another adult they know right away if an adult they don't know tries to talk them into leaving with them.
Discuss school bus safety with your child and remind them how important it is to stay seated for the entire trip. Make sure they know to never walk in front of the bus unless the driver has indicated it is safe to do so.
Check your child's backpack to make sure it fits them properly and isn't too heavy. Backpacks can cause back issues and falls if they aren't adjusted properly or are too heavy.
Discuss bullying with your child and work with them to develop effective coping strategies, Make sure they know not to give in to a bully's demands or retaliate, but to say stop, walk away and tell an adult.

Comments Off on Musselman's Lake's Official Unofficial Flower
By Charlene Jones (Originally posted July 2014)
Two kinds of brilliant orange, strikingly tall lilies can be identified around our lake. They both bear the name "Ditch Lily" from their shared preference for growing around ditches.
The first variety, called Common Wildflower Lily, or Day Lily is not really a lily at all. It belongs to the Latin group Hemerocallidaceae and if you can pronounce that, come over and teach me, too!
These plants are nearly indestructible. If you have an area in need of strong, I mean really strong, roots, such as a hill, or part of your garden where other kinds of foliage fail, try the Common Wildflower Lily.You will notice it growing in large clumps, dotting the roads and by ways with its plain orange blossom. The single blossom, on top of a long, woody stalk with many buds, but only a single blossom, lasts one day and has no scent. These blossoms with their trumpet shape and striking color are known to attract hummingbirds. Dig down in spring or fall where you find these flowers growing wild, wash and transplant, covering their roots with enough soil to keep them dark, then watering fully. They like company and enjoy being planted together, much closer than many other flowers like. But beware. The roots on this plant grow thickly and will not be easily disturbed. For more on this google Ditch Lilies and read laments from many who have tried to release their soil from the clutches of this determined plant!
The other variety is called Oriental Lily. This is the true Tiger Lily although it too is called Day Lily. If you think the names are confusing so far, consider this: Tiger Lilies do not have stripes. They have spots and so are sometimes referred to as Leopard Lilies!
Tiger Lilies bloom orange or reddish orange with dark brown speckles covering the petals. The petals curve backwards and the bloom faces downward. The blooms form in clusters where several bloom at one time resting on the tip of a heavy stalk that is covered with short spiky leaves. This kind laces the garden air with the smell of lily, lily, lily. Their reddish tinge and brown speckles no doubt gave rise to the superstition that if you smell a Tiger Lily, you will receive freckles!
These lilies need more gentle handling in the beginning. The Oriental Variety require you to separate small bulbs called bulbits from the axils of leaves of a thriving plant. Remove the bulb scales from the bulbits and grow them in moist peat, in a cool, dark place until small bulbs form. Start them in a nursery and later transfer them outside. Once the Oriental Variety are established and thriving, they'll drop their own bulbs with no help from you.Caution
Although both Oriental and Common WIldflower Lilies are extremely hardy and seldom suffer from insects or disease themselves, both may carry diseases that affect other lilies and flowering plants, so if you are going to transplant from a wild group, you might consider carefully washing their roots before bedding them in your soil.
These plants are also toxic to cats, who may vomit, demonstrate lethargy, even develop kidney failure from eating them. On the other hand, rabbits and deer find the orange flowers a delectable treat! To keep these wild animals from eating away at your prizes, or nibbling on other treats from your garden, try mixing a solution of 20% egg with about 80% water, and spraying this over your lilies. Deer and rabbits hate the smell of eggs!

Comments Off on Nature's Way of Leveling the Playing Field
From the Reader's Write section of the Stouffville Free Press
In the last couple of weeks Musselman's Lake has experienced a fish die-off similar, but less severe in numbers, to what occurred in the spring of 2009.
There are a number of similarities between this fish die-off and that of 2009. As in 2009 the dying fish are almost exclusively black crappie, as well, both incidences occurred in the early spring when the Crappie are breeding.
Sunfish, a close relative, are seen mating and nesting as I write this. A water quality issue would affect more than one species of fish.
All of this leads us to believe that the crappie die-off that we have just experienced is caused by the same thing that caused it in 2009, namely, the unusually warm weather followed by a drop in temperature timed just when the crappie are breeding. This theory is further supported by the fact that almost all of the fish are of breeding size, the young fry are not affected.
If the Crappie were not spawning they would have stayed in the deeper cooler water and not been subjected to the water temperature fluctuations. As it is, the breeding fish stay in the shallow water and are stressed becoming prone to a bacterial infection by Columnaris flexibacter.
Columnaris is always present in fish, but typically becomes an issue only in stressed fish.
Postmortems in 2009 confirmed this as the cause at that time. Due to the similarities of the two die-offs, we have not performed postmortems this year, but are confident that the cause of the two incidents is the same.
There is potential 'silver lining' to this crappie die-off. Crappie are an aggressive species recently introduced to the lake (likely through release of baitfish). I have seen their young surround a sunfish nest and slowly eat all the eggs. As the male sunfish chases off one juvenile crappie another moves in and eats some eggs. The sunfish returns to the nest and chases off the new interloper while a third rushes in to eat some more eggs. In very little time the sunfish nest is empty.
Because of survival instincts like this, the crappie population has dramatically increased since they were introduced to the lake and is putting pressure on other species.
These periodic die-offs may be nature's way of leveling the playing field.

Comments Off on Ninth Line Landfill Site/Restoration Project Update
As you may or may not know, United Soils Management's Ninth Line landfill site is also a restoration project. USM was issued a fill permit as part of the Lee Sand and Gravel Pit Restoration Project. The plan involves using quality fill to fill in the old pit and to restore the Lee Sand & Gravel Pit back to as it was in the 1950's – farmland with a woodlot.
The MLRA has been working closely with United Soils since the start of the restoration project and Alec Cloke has always been very open with us on an ongoing basis. United Soils has just applied for an amendment to their land fill permit to allow a small number of hydrovac trucks to empty at the site. The MLRA sat down with Alec Cloke to find out more information about this proposal.
Here are his answers to our questions.
The hydrovac industry is 15 years old and growing in leaps and bounds. To date, there are two legal places to unload hydrovacs in the GTA as a result hydrovacs are being emptied everywhere and there are no measures or any policing for testing. United Soils is organizing to cure that.
United's application is for an amendment to a previously granted license. There will be no additional trucks on Ninth Line. Hydrovacs will be included in the approved number of trucks coming to that location.
There will be one hydrovac company allowed to come to United. The hydrovac company owned by Powell contracting operating within Stouffville will be responsible for policing over the protocol of all materials coming to the site. That is to say, that more than one hydrovac company may be coming to the site, but Powell contracting will be responsible for all of it.
The testing criteria for hydrovac trucks is equal to the protocol which already exists. The difference is that the material will be tested in a separate quadrant of our property. If the testing fails, the material will be removed.
If contaminated material comes to the site, it will not go further from where it was originally delivered and immediately removed at the shippers expense.
There's a protocol agreement that administered by United soils and monitored by the town.
The first truck allowed on the site cannot be earlier than 7am and the last truck allowed on the premises cannot be after 6pm.
It's easy for United Soils to adhere to that.
One must not forget that there's a gravel pit working at the same location where there are no restrictions for early morning entry.
That operation closes at 4pm.
There are no additional risks. The testing criteria is the same.
Something that the public should understand is that the hydrovac and small quantity portion of the business is minor compared to what already exists. United is not going to put its current operation in jeopardy for the sake of hydrovacs.
It's conducted by Golder and Associates. All reports are sent directly to the Town, so as in any other report which is public can be received by requesting the Town for it.
The Town has access to all information.
The maximum number of trucks which is approved to date is 600 but United is doing nowhere near that.
It is not coming from USM if it is before 7am on weekdays.
It's important to note that the water on United's property is NOT ground water, but captured storm water.
500,000 gallons per month are what is used for dust control on the site.
United has put up $333,000.00 cash securities to date.
This will grow over the next 3 years to one million dollars cash securities.
The way that the agreement is structured with the town is that it gets revisited annually in case there are deletions or additions in the agreement.
The MLRA would like to thank Alec Cloke for keeping our community updated on the project.

Comments Off on Natural Occurrence and No Cause For Alarm
Recently residents are again seeing a fish die off. This is something that we have seen before and again are looking into with the same vigour as before. The last die off was in 2009 and that information, including the results of fish autopsies can be found in the Related Links section below if anyone is interested. We would encourage all waterfront residents to please scoop as many dead fish as possible out of the water and dispose of them either through burying or the green bin.
This year we have seen very little algae so far but a much greater bounty of weeds coming to the surface. We have found that on years where the ice comes off early and the weeds can get established that we do not get an early algae bloom, in years like last year where there is a late melt followed by weeks of warm weather the algae can get a good hold. This is all natural and exactly what the experts tell us to expect. This has nothing to do with lake pollution and everything to do with the natural life cycle of a living body of water.
In 2014 we were very fortunate to have Geranium homes contract Hutchinson Environmental Sciences conduct the most extensive study of Musselman's Lake ever. Please click on the report image to view this very extensive and enlightening report.
We will keep everyone posted with results of the investigation into this years die off.
Dr. Brian Laing, has been looking into this years fish die off, which consist 99% crappie and mostly breeding size.
They were breeding last week before the sunfish started mating season started. The recent unusual warm weather while they are breeding stresses them and makes them susceptible to bacterial infections.
This is a completely natural occurrence and no cause for alarm.

Amazing !
Amazing apartment which more than comfortably accommodated my wife and I and our 3 kids. Lovely pool which was never crowded, centrally based for all the usual sights like Mijas, Marbella etc. Just round the corner from some lovely restaurants and shops and a ten minute walk to the beach. Set in beautiful gardens with 24 hour security and own parking. The apartment was really well appointed and the massive veranda was a really lovely surprise. The owner couldn't have been more helpful (even returning some left behind luggage). Just over the road is a Spanish "Go Ape" type place which we loved (but I couldn't walk for two days !) Without a doubt we would highly recommend staying !

Hmm the GD library seems to be OK (see attachment). The weirdest issue is that I can upload a png file, but when I try to open it, it gives a 500 internal server error.
Go to End
Is there maybe any module to read files/images in another way?
i just had the same problem on a box where a system update didn't update the libraries correctly, so everytime the gd function imagecreatefrompng($png) was called, apache aborted (similar to this thread)
Recompiling the libraries solved the problem for me.

US ambassador to Sweden steps down -- Matthew Barzun to head Obama re-election finance team

The card simply allows them to be associated by the TiVo so they can be recorded properly.


text: Has Parcells ever implemented the 4 minute(no-huddle) offense into his regular gameplan? Obviously he's run it at the end of halves and quarters but what about as a change-up similar to what the Seahawks do with Hasselback and obviously Peyton Manning with the Colts? I ask becasue I think Romo would really do well if put in that situation. The few times we've had to run the 2 minute offense at the end of halves and games, I believe we've marched down the field every time. I think it's something we should consider. It's always good to have a "change-up" in your back pocket just in case. Obviously with Bledsoe, it wasn't going to work. I'm pretty sure Romo could handle it as he has the smarts and urgency to get it done. Our skilled players should be able to handle it. Not too sure about our OLine.

If you thought you'd missed the boat on volunteering at the 2012 Games, there's a new chance to get involved you'll want to grasp with both hands: giving out a million cups of water.
"At every recent Olympics the distribution of free water has been a way for Christians to show God's love," says David Willson, CEO of More Than Gold. "During the next few months we want the churches to hit new heights in showing Christian hospitality."
Volunteers are sought for the Million Cups of Water programme, to give up a day or more to serve at one of more than 20 water distribution points in London. These include transport hubs like St Pancras Station, the main pedestrian corridors and key points during the marathon events.
The call to action also includes asking churches across the UK to run their own water centres. This can be during the Torch Relay which is now underway, during Olympic community events or cycle road races. To help in the organisation of water distribution, a detailed check list is available to make it as easy as possible for churches to set up their own water station.

A 10-year-old boy developed severe dyspnea and respiratory failure during a hospitalization for an allogeneic unrelated bone marrow transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia. He had first presented 23 weeks earlier with acute myeloid leukemia and had not responded to the initial induction chemotherapy. Next, he was successfully treated with another regimen of remission-induction chemotherapy without complications. He received an allogeneic unrelated bone marrow transplant after a conditioning regimen of cyclophosphamide (Endoxan; Asta-Medica BV; Diemen, the Netherlands) therapy, total body irradiation, and low-dose antithymocyte globulin. Both donor and recipient were seronegative for cytomegalovirus. Immediately after transplantation, the patient received therapy with cyclosporine A, short-course methotrexate, and total bowel decontamination. During this time, he was nursed in a protective environment. Seven days after undergoing the bone marrow transplantation, he developed a fever. A blood culture revealed a coagulase-negative Staphylococcus infection for which he was treated with IV antibiotics (ceftazidime and teicoplanin). Six days later (13 days after the bone marrow transplantation), a chest radiograph showed bilateral pulmonary infiltrates (Fig 1

Hubli, Karnataka, Oct 24 (UNI) State Minister for Public Works C M Udasi today said the Congress and the JD(S) have no future in the State as they had lost moral strength.
Talking to newsmen here, he said the BJP had already won the hearts of the people through its pro-people work and functioning of the BJP-led Government has been quite smooth.
Under the circumstances, the success of the party in Council election in all three seats was sure.
Minister for Water Resources Basavaraj Bommai, who was also present, referring to allegation by Former Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy, said 'he had not come out of the trauma of losing power in the State and has been frantically making erratic allegations against him and the BJP.'

Pardon me boys ... It's the Chattanooga Choo Choo

The usual array of limestone features that one finds in every limestone cave across the world except that at the end of the walk into the cave there is this absolutely beautiful 100ft waterfall. Apparently they do not know where the water comes from except that the clue is that when there is a drought, the water is only a trickle though it has ...

adds up for a couple of hour walking. Was still good fun though.

Drivers who pay for their petrol with a card which can then be charged back to their employers will find themselves paying far more for the perk.
The card is used by company staff for business and private mileage and, as it can be used for personal travel, it is regarded as a taxable benefit by the Inland Revenue.
But Gordon Brown has decided to increase the tax on the cards by 16%, meaning that staff would have to drive many more miles to make the fuel benefit worthwhile. A Ford Mondeo 1.8 driver, for example, who currently pays £984 on his card for the year, will pay an extra £156, pushing it up to £1,140.
Drivers of cars over two litres will see their annual tax bill for free fuel rise by £232, from £1,448 to £1,680 a year, if they are higher-rate taxpayers.
Staff are liable for the full amount of tax from the moment they take the perk. If they decide to reject it after 6 April, when the tax rise comes into force, they would have to repay their company for the cost of the petrol they have received.
Alastair Kendrick, of accountants Ernst and Young, said today that the move could be seen as a stealth tax.
"This is clearly going to hit employees' pockets badly. They are also paying tax twice over - once when they buy the fuel and again when they use it." He said that for a large number of drivers the fuel card was increasingly looking as if it was not worth keeping.
The changes were announced in a press release which was not flagged up by ministers. Had the change not been spotted, the first many motorists would have known about it would have been when it was made public by Chancellor Gordon Brown in his budget on 17 April.

Martin Havlat scored a fluke unassisted goal at 7 minutes 12 seconds of the third period to lift the Ottawa Senators to a 1-1 tie with Philadelphia last night, snapping the Flyers' seven-game home winning streak.
Havlat's shot from inside the right circle trickled off Philadelphia goaltender Roman Cechmanek, but Flyers defenseman Kim Johnsson tipped the puck back into the net with the blade of his stick in a clearing attempt.
Jeremy Roenick scored for the Flyers, who had their eight-game winning streak stopped with a 5-2 loss in Pittsburgh on Monday.
MAPLE LEAFS 6, FLAMES 1: Alexander Mogilny scored twice and had an assist as Toronto ended a five-game streak without a victory by winning at Calgary.Continue reading the main story
Mogilny, sidelined the previous three games with back spasms, broke a 1-1 tie at 1:43 of the second period off a nice setup by Jyrki Lumme, and added his 17th of the season in the third.
Jonas Hoglund, Bryan McCabe, Darcy Tucker and Robert Reichel also scored for Toronto, which moved within 1 point of the idle Boston Bruins for the Northeast Division lead. Curtis Joseph made 28 saves to win for the first time in six starts.
CAPITALS 3, THRASHERS 0: Olaf Kolzig made 27 saves for his 25th career shutout and second this season against host Atlanta as Washington beat the Thrashers.
Ulf Dahlen, Jaromir Jagr and Brendan Witt scored goals to back Kolzig's fourth shutout of the season.

jim schaefer asked the Naked Scientists: Really enjoy your programme.Why don't we see insects as large as whales or cows ? Why is the ratio of largest to smallest so much bigger for mammals (blue whale vs kitti's hog nosed bat) than it is for insects (goliath beetle vs fairy fly) ?Thanks,Jim SchaeferAnn Arbor, Michigan, USAWhat do you think?
I believe it also has to do with breathing. Insects do not have lungs, and there is a limit to the volume of body that insect respiration can oxygenate.
Also, they have too little brain compared to animals that can grow larger.
Sure, a distributed nervous system. I'm thinking that, spread out as they are, they lack sufficient connectivity and hierarchy ... and maybe including consciousness.

Why is the ratio of largest to smallest so much bigger for mammals (blue whale vs kitti's hog nosed bat) than it is for insects (goliath beetle vs fairy fly) ?Thanks,Jim SchaeferAnn Arbor, Michigan, USAWhat do you think?
I wonder about insects and consciousness. The other day I was eating lunch at a picnic table and there was a large dead bug on it. Another insect went up to it, circled around it, paused, and then (I am not making this up) shoved it off the table. Then I watched the bug crawl down the picnic table to where the dead insect was, and haul him away.) How is that not a conscious thought process? And even if you believe it's "instinct" or "programmed" behavior, what test or experimental method would you use to tell the difference between instinctive, automatic behavior and conscious problem solving?
There was a time when Earth had big insects....sorry, you cannot view external links. To see them, please
REGISTER or LOGIN Don't know how correct it is but oxygen content must have played a role.
First you've got to decide precisely what you mean by consciousness in this context. People can mean anything from simple responsiveness to environmental stimuli, through complex adaptive behaviour, to introspective self-awareness. Most people working on concepts of consciousness accept that there is a continuum both of degrees and kinds of consciousness; it isn't a simple thing, you can be conscious to varying extents, and in some ways but not in others.Personally, I'd be inclined to judge this example in terms of adaptability and creativity in problem solving. I'd do a number of different trials with varying parameters to try to establish how flexible and adaptable this particular behaviour was. A widely quoted (and debated) example of this kind of thing involves a particular species of sphex wasp that is said to show such rigid action patterns that it can be tricked into repeating them ad-infinitum (see ...sorry, you cannot view external links. To see them, please
REGISTER or LOGIN). But this isn't the whole story - other sphex species don't get locked into this repetitive loop, some only briefly, and there seems to be some variation between individuals of a species too; does this mean they're 'more conscious' than those that do? And, of course, fixed, repetitive behaviour is not necessarily diagnostic of lack of consciousness - ask OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) sufferers.
In the past, scientists were accused of anthropomorphizing other species that seemed to be problem solving or displaying emotions.
But it seems more unscientific to me to suggest that human behaviors suddenly popped into existence with us and have no roots in other species. It is fascinating, however, when animals or insects demonstrate similar behaviors with very tiny or different brains.
That question causes me to ask: Why are there on insect sized whales?

A LATE developer, this 58-year-old is nevertheless the youngest of the top six and has not proved, as many had expected under the new rules, to be a slow starter. He shares with the favourite a never-say-die spirit. And he is a tricky competitor, able to draw on a depth of experience Nelson Mandela lacks in the hurly- burly of the electoral contest. He recently enlisted the assistance of Sir Tim Bell, the English trainer, who performed wonders with Iron Lady, in the hope of adding international sophistication to his campaign. That may prove to have been a mistake, since conditions in England differ substantially from those of the new South Africa. But he should finish a comfortable second.
Zach de Beer
WITHIN the Democratic Party he has acquired the label 'Dr Zzzzz' because of his tendency to doze off at meetings. Like Chief Buthelezi, he is 65 but there the difference ends. A gentle, docile and well- groomed competitor, he has never fought dirty, remaining the colonial gent. It has been a point of principle during his career never to deviate from the straight and narrow, never to sacrifice righteousness in pursuit of glory. He would frown in the old days on the ruthlessness of the National Party but, holding his nose, he kept alongside. That has been the Democratic Party way. Unless the young Turks in his party abandon etiquette, a bet for him is one borne of nostalgia.
Constand Viljoen
IN THE DAYS when he led the South African Defence Force, they called him 'a soldier's soldier'. He performed well in the Seventies and early Eighties in Angola. In 1985 he was rested, on a farm in the Eastern Transvaal. But when Nelson Man dela appeared on the scene in 1990, he began to brood, fearing that the glorious memory of the Afrikaner volk was under threat. But he knew the ANC were too strong for the volk. He knew they could never be beaten in a fair competition. So he emerged from retirement in May last year, abandoned his more fanatical backers and decided to take part in the race. At 60, the general is past his best and will struggle to keep up with the pace.
Clarence Makwetu
AN OUTSIDER in the field, believed to be in his mid-sixties, and could cause a surprise. The Pan- Africanist Congress (PAC) produced its best runners in the Sixties then faded from view for 30 years. He is dogged more than inspired, having never displayed the capacity to effect the turn of speed required to win at this level of competition. Deep down, as is the PAC way, he harbours a hate for the indignities heaped upon the rest of the field by the National Party down the years. The engine of resentment might enable him to draw on hitherto untapped energies. He just might shift up a gear as the finishing line comes into view. Given the long odds, he is worth a bet for a place.
Mangosuthu Buthelezi
A VOLATILE runner, brilliant one moment, unpredictable the next. It required extraordinary perseverance to persuade him to join the race. Several endured some painful kicks and there were more than a few casualties. The alliance he forged six months ago with the white far right proved a grave error. He thought it would boost his chances to run with a team of spoilers dedicated, more than anything, to tripping up the ANC favourite. But the alliance cracked. He has had to fall back on his own resources, which rest more on kinship with the Zulu king than on crude Inkatha training methods. This reluctant 65-year-old should edge his way into the top three.
Nelson Mandela
PEDIGREE and stamina make him undisputed favourite to win the electoral race. Bookmakers stopped taking bets when he was set free to compete, on 11 February 1992. He cantered out of the gate with the beaming smile of an individual who knew, at the age of 71, that his best was yet to come. He has had many hurdles to overcome in the last four years. His opponents have jostled and cheated and employed all manner of dirty tricks. But he is nothing if not determined, and tough. A canny capacity to identify his rivals' vanities has enabled him, through sheer charm, to disarm those plotting his fall. Expect this courageous 75-year-old to gallop clear to victory over the final furlong.
