I can still smell the fresh street fair food from my weekend trip to New York City. Grilled summer corn, fresh fruit carts and lots of greasy deliciousness are summer scents that are hard to resist, but I managed to just enjoy the aroma. It's a good thing, too. There are so many chefs creating amazing meals with the freshest ingredients right from the farm. Here are 3 New York City restaurants where the focus is on healthy, sustainable and delicious dining.
PRINT, a farm-to-table restaurant, at Kimpton's Ink48 Hotel gets rave reviews from diners and awards from the critics. The full-time forager is constantly seeking out ingredients from local farms. Rise and shine to a nutritious day with a seasonal omelet, local vegetables, toast and roasted potatoes. You'll know every farm where the food is coming from.
2. The Green Table
Inside Chelsea Market is The Green Table where the menu is dictated by the current harvest. Even the beer and wine are made using sustainable practices. The current menu, from July6th, has plenty to taste for lunch. Start with the Harvest Salad made with local cheese, nuts and Hudson Valley fruit. Then try the Roasted Organic Chicken Breast that's braised with local greens, buttered spatzle and thyme jus.
3. Blue Hill New York
For dinner, indulge at this family establishment, Blue Hill New York, and celebrate seasonal American cuisine. There's a neighborhood restaurant atmosphere in the former "speakeasy" building, and service is quite attentive. Among the highlights of the current menu is an appetizer of first of the season string beans and grilled peaches. One entrée to consider is the Block Island Tilefish with sugar snap peas, leeks,and pistachios.

- sulphur
A nonmetallic element existing in a crystalline or amorphous form and in four stable isotopes; used as a chemical intermediate and fungicide, and in rubber vulcanization. It is deposited from volcanic vents and fumaroles and also is found in sedimentary rocks, particularly with gypsum and limestone, and associated with salt-domes. Native sulphur is the main source of sulphur for the sulphuric acid industry, followed by sour gas (natural gas containing hydrogen sulphide) and pyrite. Sulphur is an essential plant macronutrient.

Mike Posner Discusses His New Video "The Way It Used To Be"
Mike Posner stopped by the Channel 96-1 Studio to talk with Reid about his new single "The Way It Used to Be" and his love for all the North Carolina Fans from the Triangle. Posner discusses honing his craft in his Duke University dorm all while graduating with a 3.59 GPA. The start up environment helped push him to do his own thing as Posner states:
"The environment at Duke was really inspiring. I'd go walk down my dorm hallways and I'd see kids that were starting their own businesses and they'd be telling me all about it. I'd be jealous. These kids were about to make a million dollars. I need to go do something. The only thing I was really good at was music, so I just did it."
Since his time at Duke, he's collaborated with some of the biggest names in the music business and has a new album titled "Pages" coming out later in 2013. You can catch him on tour now with Ke$ha in a town near year. As a UNC grad, Reid tested out Posner's knowledge of UNC and Duke basketball stars. Check out the interview and his new video "The Way It Used To Be" below:

Bull Information Systems has been awarded an important contract by the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) to deliver and implement state-of-the-art high performance computing (HPC) equipment and provide associated consultancy and support.
The MTC is a non-profit distributing research and technology organization focused on transferring knowledge to industrial companies and their supply chains in order to help drive the UK's manufacturing competitiveness.
MTC has acquired a HPC facility designed to help develop a comprehensive capability in manufacturing simulation. To support this new focus, MTC needed a partner and provider capable of providing direct access to the component (hardware and software) HPC technology and possessing associated skills in deploying and developing it.
Dr Clive Hickman, CEO, MTC, commented on the appointment of Bull: "not only did Bull have the HPC knowledge and expertise we were looking for but they demonstrated attention to detail, quality of solution and flexibility to satisfy our needs at all stages. We look forward to working with Bull and to them delivering a solution that not only meets our needs today but also for the future."
Andrew Carr, sales and marketing director, Bull UK & Ireland commented, "MTC was working to very tight timescales for this project and needed to demonstrate value-for-money from its investments. As such, our commitment to deliver the very latest high performance "Sandy Bridge" processor technology within the required timeframe we considered was a key differentiator."
Bull is currently in the process of implementing its HPC solution for MTC.
The main features of the hardware include:
• More than 30 compute nodes, each with 2x Intel Xeon E5-2670 processors (8 cores, 2.60GHz, 8.00GT/s, 20MB);
• 4GB 1600MHz memory per core plus two nodes with 8GB/core (total 2.43TB);
• One 'fat' node for pre- and post-processing work;
• 100TB usable RAID6 storage;
• Linux 64-bit operating system.
Yet, the benefits for MTC of Bull's work on this project extend far beyond the implementation of the equipment itself.
Hickman concludes, " MTC is new to the field of high performance computing and Bull's on-going advice, coupled with that of our other members in this arena, will be invaluable in assisting MTC to make the correct long term decisions for its HPC strategy."

Since the M·A·C AIDS Fund (MAF) launched in 1994, we have been dedicated to supporting bold and innovative organizations around the world that provide vital services and strengthen the safety net for people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS. To keep our grant-making relevant and responsive, we meet regularly with leaders in the field - our grantees, peer funders, and the people working on the front lines - to stay aware of emerging needs and trends and identify funding and service gaps.
Through our grantmaking we will continue to support programs and collaborations all over the world that effectively and strategically focus on underserved and stigmatized populations and promote leadership, best practices, and innovation in direct services, prevention, and other areas critical in the fight against HIV/AIDS in these three areas:
For obvious reasons, stopping new HIV infections remains a critical component of the global strategy to end HIV/AIDS. We've taken that logic and mobilized around the most vulnerable populations, working around the world to assist groups that are exposed to a much higher risk for HIV infection due to societal factors and certain high-risk behaviors. These populations include sex workers, injection drug users, prisoners and people living in under-resourced areas with high HIV prevalence such as in India and the Caribbean. This is a concern not only in developing countries, but also in the United States, where certain at-risk groups such as men who have sex with men and poor, urban African-American women have HIV rates that rival those of some countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
Each program we fund uses proven ways to reduce new infections either by impacting risky behavior such as needle exchanges, or providing tools—either behavior-based or biomedical—for safer sex. And with each program we support, we get closer to seeing an AIDS-free generation in our lifetime.
With a laser focus on ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the M•A•C AIDS Fund serves people of All Ages, All Races, All Sexes. You will find us on nearly every front of the global fight against HIV/AIDS. We help connect people to life-saving care, and once someone is linked to support and treatment, we help keep them there. Looking to protect the next generation, we back programs that provide treatment for HIV-positive pregnant women to prevent HIV transmission to their newborns. From expanding access to HIV treatment to preventing HIV transmission from mothers to babies to retaining people in care, we're just getting warmed up.
Basic Needs
Here's some good news: the HIV/AIDS epidemic has drastically changed over the last 30+ years, with better ways to treat and provide care to give many living with HIV/AIDS longer, healthier lives. As the epidemic has evolved, so have the needs of those affected. Yet for the most marginalized, underserved populations at the highest risk of infection, keeping the disease in check is often overshadowed by a lack of access too necessities such as food, transportation and housing.
Our response is to fund community programs and services that provide daily support and essential poverty-based direct services, helping people living with HIV/AIDS to reprioritize their health. Since the start of the Fund in 1994, we have committed more than $50 million to programs like these. We'll continue to make them a priority.
Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission
330,000. That's the estimated new HIV infections globally among children. In 2011, a number that shows how much work is left to do. While access to prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) services has been improving, in the countries with the highest burden, less than two-thirds of women who needed PMTCT services had access to them as recently as 2011. We are supporters of the "Global Plan" international partnership, along with co-chairs UNAIDS and the U.S. State Department. The goal of the Global Plan is simple: To stop new HIV infections in children by 2015. We have committed more than $8 million to the cause, with a primary focus on highly impacted countries: South Africa, Nigeria, and India.
The transmission of HIV from mother to child continues to be the primary cause of HIV infection in South Africa for children younger than 15. In response, we partnered with UNICEF and the South African National Department of Health to roll out the country's National Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) Plan, which expands the availability of PMTCT services to local primary health clinics in five of the country's seven provinces. To date, more than three million pregnant women have been tested for HIV/AIDS, and more than 40,000 HIV-positive pregnant women have received medicine to prevent their babies from being born with HIV.
More than 80% of pregnant women living with HIV in India do not receive the services needed to prevent HIV transmission to their infants. SAATHI (meaning "friend" in Nepali) provides comprehensive PMTCT and antenatal care services to pregnant women and their families in the five states of India where the majority of HIV-positive pregnant mothers live. With our support, SAATHI is training health workers to ensure that HIV-positive women and infants receive the services they need, and it is building more than 200 health care facilities to deliver PMTCT services.
Retention in Care
Over 30 years into the HIV/AIDS epidemic and there are still people living with HIV/AIDS who are unable to stay in medical care and on treatment that can improve or extend their lives. In the U.S., while more than six out of 10 people living with HIV/AIDS are linked to care, only about 50% of them stick with it. we think that is unacceptable, which is why we are supporting cutting-edge programs being rolled out around the world that make sure people are given a fighting chance to stay in HIV care.
AIDS United works with partners across the U.S. to make sure that people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS have access to the prevention and care services they need. We are partnering with AIDS United to pilot new approaches— such as through our $4 million investment in the Retention-in-Care Initiative—that keep people in care. Programs supported through this initiative focus on different models to better engage and serve underserved populations in care and treatment programs, including men who have sex with men (MSM), transgendered individuals, women with histories of violence and trauma, and people living with HIV/AIDS in underserved areas including the deep South and rural communities.
Treatment Access
With HIV treatment, it is important to take medicine as early as possible after diagnosis to maximize its effectiveness. Treatment also rewards consistency; Doctors have shown that people who stay on treatment have better long-term health and significantly reduce their chances of passing HIV to their sexual partners. Access and adherence to treatment are critical, and by supporting programs that target these issues, we not only help ensure that individuals live longer, healthier lives, but also help stop the future spread of HIV.
The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) works in more than 20 countries to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of local HIV/AIDS programs. Through grants from the M•A•C AIDS Fund, CHAI is partnering with the Dominican Republic government to eliminate national shortages of HIV medicine, reduce costs of medicine and increase the number of HIV tests performed.
The Haitian Group for the Study of Kaposi's Sarcoma and Opportunistic Infections (GHESKIO) was the first worldwide institution established to combat HIV/AIDS. After more than three decades of never closing its doors or charging fees, it continues to work in close partnership with the Haitian government to provide HIV testing, care and treatment from dozens of locations throughout Haiti. In Haiti, 45% of all patients with HIV/AIDS and more than 50% of those on antiretroviral therapy are in the GHESKIO network. At the primary clinic, GHESKIO-INLR, 15% of approximately 30,000 newly tested persons are HIV-infected.
Food and Nutrition
Low-income people living with HIV/AIDS are too often forced to choose between paying for medication or for food. That's why programs that deliver nutritional meals, operate food pantries and link those in need to government-sponsored initiatives, such as the Food Stamp program in the U.S., are essential in providing care to the HIV/AIDS community. The M•A•C AIDS Fund has provided more than $30 million U.S. in support of important programs that help people living with HIV/AIDS meet their daily needs.
Project Open Hand meets community nutrition needs through programs for people living with HIV/AIDS, the homebound/critically ill and seniors in San Francisco and Alameda counties. We have proudly funded Project Open Hand for years, making sure that healthy meals—prepared by professional chefs and delivered by dedicated volunteers—make their way to a grateful community. The M•A•C AIDS Fund has supported Project Open Hand since 1996 and has awarded almost $2 million to support the delivery of meals to people living with HIV/AIDS.
As the only organization in the United Kingdom focused on providing nutritional services to people living with HIV/AIDS, The Food Chain works with a network of skilled volunteers to save and change lives by providing a range of tailored support to people living with HIV/AIDS. With our support of more than $500,000 since 1999, The Food Chain has provided nutrition counseling, communal eating opportunities, home-delivered meals, groceries and cooking/nutrition classes, all crafted to reach those most in need.
Here's a simple truth: if you don't have a roof over your head, staying on treatment becomes less of a concern than finding a safe, warm bed. So we've made it a priority to provide stable housing for folks in need, reducing avoidable health emergencies associated with homelessness while creating cost savings that often offset all, or part of the housing cost. Our Housing Program funds organizations that provide housing for people living with HIV/AIDS and their families and empowering low-income communities by increasing their access to permanent housing. MAF has provided more than $10 million U.S. to support housing programs and housing-related services for low-income people living with HIV/AIDS.
Bailey House provides stable housing and a variety of complementary services that are essential for people living with HIV/AIDS. We support Bailey House's Supportive Housing Apartment Program, which provides housing and services Such as substance abuse and mental health counseling, skills training and support groups for individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS in our own backyard in New York City.
The Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation offers British Columbia's only HIV/AIDS Day Health Program and 24-hour specialized nursing care residence with short- and long-term care. With our support of more than $700,000 CAD since 1997, Dr. Peter AIDS Foundation provides housing, meals, medical services and other support services including group support, case management, counseling, and harm reduction and substance abuse-related
Poverty-Based Direct Services
Around the world, we support programs that address the basic needs of people living with HIV/AIDS, needs such as transportation, case management, individual client advocacy and legal services. These programs take a variety of forms depending on the unique needs of each local community, and all aim to enable individuals living with HIV/AIDS to live as independently as possible and improve their quality of life.
Over the last three decades, the Terrence Higgins Trust has established itself as the UK's leading voice on HIV/AIDS and sexual health. In response to rising levels of poverty, we provide support for the Trust's Hardship Fund, which gives grants to the most financially distressed people living with HIV/AIDS.
Harm Reduction
The HIV epidemic remains strongly linked to substance use and addiction. Sharing used syringes is the primary method of HIV transmission among injection drug users (IDUs), which make up an estimated three million of those living with HIV/AIDS worldwide. While experts agree that syringe exchange programs reduce HIV transmissions, these programs are not widely used due to political stigma. Even in the face of great pressure from governments worldwide, we have led this field in the funding community by backing grassroots programs that offer syringe exchanges and clean needles.
BOOM! Health, USA
BOOM! Health provides assistance to active drug users who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in New York City. The syringe exchange program we support has been shown not only to reduce the incidence of HIV in the local drug-using population, but do so in a cost-effective manner at less than $1 per sterile syringe.
CACTUS Montreal was one of the first needle exchange programs in North America. Since 2011, we have supported CACTUS in providing a range of services to more than 36,000 clients annually who access a range of services including counseling initiatives, transgender health services, syringe exchange programs and free, anonymous services to injection drug users and sex workers.
Behavior-Based Prevention
In order to have a chance of preventing the spread of HIV, we need to be able to adapt and change mindsets about personal behavior, especially for those engaging in activities that make them more likely to contract the virus. We are on the front lines of these "behavior-based programs," which aim to prevent new infections among people engaged in high-risk activities. The programs we fund are often the first of their kind, bringing invaluable new insights into how we can best prevent transmission in the most vulnerable populations.
With our support, Emory University has developed Testing Together, a couples-focused HIV testing and counseling intervention for gay and bisexual male couples, adapted from a successful model for heterosexual couples. Testing Together and receiving test results together can start an ongoing healthy conversation between an individual and partner about HIV, and help the couple in talking openly about building a protection plan together. Testing Together has conducted an initial rollout in several U.S. cities, primarily aimed at growing the number of counselors trained in MSM counseling skills and increasing testing of MSM couples at grassroots organizations. Staff from more than 50 testing organizations have been trained, and more than 500 people have been tested at the Atlanta and Chicago pilot sites. Emory University launched the website testingtogether.org to provide online resources and information. With MAF's support, Emory University has been able to transition this model program to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to further disseminate the intervention across the country.
The D.C. Female Condom Project is a major contributor in the movement to advance the use of the female condom for women and men's sexual health, and has reduced the number of new cases of HIV and STDs in the District of Columbia. Since 2010, the Project has educated more than 16,000 D.C. residents, trained 545 peer educators and distributed nearly half a million female condoms at more than 350 locations in the city. The project is a successful public-private partnership between the M•A•C AIDS Fund, the Washington AIDS Partnership, the D.C. Department of Health HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, STD and TB Administration (HAHSTA) and other corporate and community partners.
Bio-Medical Prevention Efforts
We support biomedical prevention programs, which are medical interventions that prevent new infections among people engaged in high-risk behaviors and those at highest risk of contracting HIV.
CAPRISA, South Africa
CAPRISA conducts globally relevant and locally responsive research that aims to better understand HIV and its implications for HIV and TB care. We are supporting a trial that will assess whether tenofovir gel, one of the most effective and commonly prescribed HIV medications, can be effectively distributed within the context of family planning services in South Africa in order to provide women with increased HIV prevention options.


text: I usually asses the situation when involved with leo and make my decision of how to handle it at that time. I got pulled over once on my bike after a guy who went off the road and drove next to me in the shoulder trying to push me into on coming traffic because I went around him legally at a green light he decided to sit at instead of going. when we got to the next light I was turning and was planning on continueing till he stopped at that green light so I got off my bike and when I did he took off and called the cops on me ,well I had been drinking that day and was wearing motorcycle club colors when they pulled me over of course they search me for weapons (I had 3 knives) asked if I was drinking and asked to search my bike When the cop asked if I had drugs in my exaust I laughed at him and said go ahead search the bike hope you dont get burnt and dont scratch my bike. After all was said and done because I was complient I did not get a dui .If I hadnt been drinking I would have not let them search. So I dont feel he did anything wrong in his situation I probably would have done the same thing.

It's Friday already - where has the week gone? Whilst we're still waiting for some decent weather, a book and a mug of coffee seems to be the best way to pass the spare time.
I don't know about you but I like to make sure I have a good selection of books on my Kindle so that while I'm waiting for Caitlin and Ieuan to finish ballet or Tae Kwon-do I have something to occupy myself.
There seems to be an awful lot of waiting around when you're a parent, doesn't there? Although I think I spent just as much time stuck on trains and buses when I was commuting to work in the days when I was child-free and could remember what a lie-in was.
If you're reading pile is dwindling, why not have a look at the fab books on offer this week?

Join the Dominion? Edit
Did the Breen join the Dominion, or were they allies? If they joined, this should be merged with Dominion.--31dot 16:02, October 19, 2011 (UTC)
- Based on the transcript of "Strange Bedfellows" here, it seems they formed an alliance instead of joining. I've also added a pna since there is a lot more information on this. - Archduk3 19:32, October 19, 2011 (UTC)
- The episode itself also seemed to only mention an alliance, but for all we know that could mean the same thing as when the Dominion would refer to the Cardassian's as their allies. --DS9-72 00:36, October 20, 2011 (UTC)
- Cardassian space was made part of the Dominion, but Breen space wasn't as far as we know, so how could they be part of the Dominion. --Patrick Rowe 17:20, October 27, 2011 (UTC)
It depends on how the Dominion interpreted the term "allies". I think it's fairly clear that the Dominion wasn't going to let the Breen control Earth as the Female Changeling said (she even implied as much to Weyoun) --31dot 21:31, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

Hello Support ,
I was going through the Author terms and was not able to clearly understand the above statement as given in the Subject of this thread …
There are very good tutorials and code out on the internet written by some of the most creative minds and are open for free Use / GPL …
My Question is what is the Line of division between making a theme based on a tutorial OR taking some inspiration from a XYZ tutorial and modifying it to customize and fit seamlessly into a given theme and using it as a small part of a theme like for example a code block with a given or multiple functions
I would be really thankful if you can advice me more clearly on the above subject , so that i am on a right track and well within the author rules while i code my First Theme for Submission at Themeforest in the near future…
Thanks for the prompt reply Dear …. Was going through the submission guidelines and i have few small questions.. Would be really thankful if you can help
Q1 : I am Sure I am Allowed to use the Open source code repository from github for plugins like Knob , Parallax , Animate etc etc .. but still just wanted to confirm It… ???
Q 2 : Do not submit works based on tutorials.? Can u pls make it more clearer …. I presume this means that i cannot use a tutorial AS IT IS ( which is obvious ).... But i hope i can certainly use it by customizing it to my theme requirements like different markup tree and different CSS rules but may be same/modified jquery code / php code Please help me understand this rule/guideline more clearly ???
Thanks a lot …
Hello Support Team ,
First of all congratulations for such a great work you people are doing . I am a ENVATO member for last 2 years and come here on and Off just for keeping in touch with latest and best products based on Wordpress …. But now i am planning to start selling my own wordpress themes here.
I am from India and my account at ENVATO is in name of Ameh and that is a form of Individual tax payer in India , Individuals are taxed a bit differently from firms , so my question was that can i keep this same account here and if my themes sell ( hoping that your review team approves my themes ) can i get the payments into a Firm Account named Web4Apps , or do i have to create a new account with web4Apps name here at Themeforest , or can i link it to Ameh or can i change Ameh to Web4Apps … Pls suggest the correct and appropriate Option ????
I am Sorry if i may have picked up a wrong Topic name …. Hoping for a clear reply from ENVATO support team.
Thanks once again…..
I think SkyUx is correct , no point in complaining that is a negative approach….. there are many factors that may be in the minds of Review team at themeforest …. So instead of complaining … best would be to try and fulfill the requirements of review team members….
Thanks and Best of Luck…
Seems Good … Besides Here are some of my Observations :::
Search Icon Alignment
Available to Downlaod text can be a link.
Add some Effects to buttons on Home page.
masonry correct ,,, Must give a height to the outer wrapper .. I mean when click on showcase the content next to masonry block popsup …
Blog section on home page can be a carousel instead of stack items.
Main menu Css shows all dropdowns when pape reloaded ,,, must correct via jQuery.
Provide some Document borders as text is crossing document width on resize.
Clearly define your footer area..seems too flat.
Can add some hover effects on blog post images …
Best of luck friend for future…
Hard luck friend …. It seems you may have some submission guidelines issues… please refer to them before resubmitting….
Dear Friend , by no means i want to depress you…. but it seems your theme has no defined purpose … and has no Solution oriented design.. no home page , no interactivity and no use as to who will use this theme and for what purpose ….. Its only a blog page …. Nothing more …Make it look like a purposeful website theme….
Best of Luck for future…. Thanks
Here are my Suggestions::—
Make Skills area more Visible and Dynamic(like animated bars)
You can make past Employments section as Timeline based(added feature optional)
Font Contrasts need Improvement on the Contact Page(Almost unreadable)
Add hover effect on the Portfolio page (seems too simlpe)
Best of Luck for Future….
Have Patience Dear and be Positive,.....
Best of Luck for your theme…
Yes , i also agree No 4 of themenum comment is correct , it seems this style+layout is being reused a number of times at themeforest ,,,
But your template is good and i am sure you can make a unique one next time ..
best of luck for future….

Jacob Zuma who undoubtedly will be elected president of South Africa in the coming weeks is suing London's Guardian newspaper for writing defamatory articles about him and he is throwing in a law suit against Jonathan Shapiro whose cartoon depicted Zuma raping Lady Justice. Zuma says he never raped Lady Justice which is most probably accurate since Lady Justice is a metaphor which can not be raped since the person doesn't exist. The Guardian published an article which described Zuma's leadership style as "morally contaminated." The South African leader is particularly upset about an article which ran under the headline: "Get used to a corrupt and chaotic South Africa. But don't write it off."
His lawyers insist Mr. Shapiro suggested Zuma "is a rapist." Of course, Mr. Zuma made several remarks at his trial about using women and showed disrespect for females. Zuma will win, but will South Africa win is the only question that is of importance.

Identify Your Shark's Teeth
A couple of weeks ago we found quite a few SHARK'S TEETH during our Shellabaloo 2 shelling adventure on a full day Captiva Cruise trip to the north side of Cayo Costa.
These are just a few of the many FOSSILS we found…
After seeing so many different types of FOSSIL SHARK'S TEETH in just one area, I wanted to identify which type tooth was from what type of SHARK. Looking through my handy "Fossilized Shark's Teeth & Fossils" book by Byron Fink, this is what I found….
The SAND SHARK and TIGER SHARK TEETH are quite different and a bit easier to identify…
The SNAGGLETOOTH SHARK is easier to identify if the serrated right edge isn't worn to much…
The LEMON SHARK isn't as easy to I.D. if the "gum" part isn't as prominent as these…
I still have a hard time distinguishing the MAKO and BULL SHARKS because they look so much alike and remember, they have different teeth in the lower and upper jaws AND they look different in the Labial View as opposed to the Lingual View. The author in my little book described the LABIAL VIEW as … "The front of the shark tooth you see when the shark opens it's lips to smile at you before swallowing you." Then he gives us the meaning of the LINGUAL VIEW as … "The side of the shark tooth (rear) you would see if the shark just swallowed you and you were looking out of the mouth". Oh dear! LOL
Some of these SHARKS TEETH can be up to 40 million years old when most of the state of Florida was under water. Yes, the Gulf Of Mexico has SHARKS… but not swarming off the shores of our beaches with black teeth waiting to get you so don't worry. Live or "new" sharks teeth are whitish and most FOSSILS are black or dark brown. If you take the full day Captiva Cruise excursion to Cayo Costa State Park, don't forget to look for FOSSILS!
I've been asked for some shelling reports for Sanibel and Captiva this week but the shelling hasn't been as productive as last week because of strong east winds that have taken the shells back in the water. But! Even though we still have the east winds now, we have a really nice low tide in the evenings tonight and throughout the weekend so I think we could find some keepers on the sand bars before sunset this week. Kathy MT commented on the iLoveShelling Facebook page and said… "Found a whole sunrise tellin beauty, Kings Crown, murex, fighting conchs, small whelks, lots of colorful scallops ( my favorites are the bright orange ) and lots of coquinas at the Sanibel side of Blind Pass this morning". Thanks Kathy MT! So maybe even in the mornings. So whichever beach you decide to go to, try to find the sand bars and also search in the shallow water. Good luck!

I love finding sharks teeth!! Makes me feel like a kid again!!
Ken you will always be a kid.
I found quite a few teeth on the south end of Boca Grande a few weeks back. It will be interesting to see how the scheduled Lee County beach re-nourishment project is going to effect our beach combing.
Oh my! Another item to add to my must finds in July ;)
Woohoo! What great fossil shark's teeth! Thanks for the identification guide!
Now ya know your sharks teeth!
Can I share this? My grandkids love the sharks teeth I bring back from Cayo Costa, and I never realized they were from different kinds of sharks!
I've never found shark's teeth on Sanibel. However, I have a great collection from the Venice area. I park at the the beach by the Venice fishing Pier and "Sharkey's" Restaurant and then go to the beach to the right of the pier. My father made what he called "Florida snow shovels" and what we call shell scoops and I would dredge and put the pieces on a tray and sit and pick out the good teeth. There is also a park and picnic area to the south of the pier, but I always found more perfect teeth by the pier, plus if you get hot Sharkey's has great liquid refreshments!! Sue bunkin
My dad lives in Venice, Fl on the water around the corner from Sharkey's! The "island" part of Venice is different than the part tied to the mainland. They do an excellent job of maintaining the beach's natural state. A water taxi goes back and forth once evert 30 minutes, no bathrooms, no motorized water toys. This means that manatees and dolphins love to come and play here.
He has sent my daughter POUNDS of teeth over the last 6 years. They're so prevalent there that he has shark teeth lining the bottom of his aquarium and as a mulch cover for some houseplants! Who could've imagined that there's be so many 40M year old tooth fossils as to almost be worthless?!
It's called the Venice Salute: bent down, butt high in the air, head down practically in the sand. Not especially attractive in the demographic. 😕
Thanks for the shart ID info. I have hundreds collected from Manasota Key in the past 4 years. Try Stump Pass State Park. You can beach your boat at the inlet to Lemon Bay or drive and park for 3$ a day.
Is the east end of Sanibel the Lighthouse beach? May try that at low tide tonight. Hope the no see ums don't get me!
Pam in your post on the 16th someone commented on a "bittersweet valve." I have searched all my shell books and cannot find a reference to a bittersweet. Could you identify it for me? Thanks.
Bonnie, Click on the tab at the top of Pam's page that says "Seashell Identification" and scroll down a little bit. On the right side you will see Bittersweet Clam. Click on the picture and it will link to all of the posts and references to Bittersweet Clams. I hope this helps.
Thanks Katherine! I looked everywhere but at the top of Pam's page!!
My son would love to find those! In reading through different things, I read "high season" and "low season". When are each of those? Also, is there a time of year that is absolutely the best to visit? Thanks to anyone who can answer these! :)
Just got back from a weekend stay at our beach here in South Carolina (Myrtle), and we found 452 teeth in that short of a time,along with fossils.
It's our passion to hunt them……would love to visit down there someday!!
I have collected shark teeth before in the peace river but have never heard of cayo costa. In looking at images of the place i need to go there and check it out. Looks like a beautiful area
I spend three months per year in Delray Beach, FL. For the last 10 years, I have spent a lot of my shelling time looking for shark teeth. This year was so much fun as I found tooth after tooth! In the end, I found 55 shark teeth. One huge one, for me, was 1 1/2 inches tall. It has been identified as a tooth from a great white!
I stopped at 55. I am disabled and the searches were exhausting, but so much fun.
I went to Florida and my kids went to the shark tooth capital. My aunt and uncle said that my kids found more teeth in one day then they found in 2 years.
So cool
I found some shark teeth in a small creek near talassee al ,not like any I've seen and older than I've seen could they be valuable?
Hi I was on the beach the other day looking for shell sea glass etc. I found what looks like a small tooth it's black and white striped would I be able to somehow send a picture
Just curious as to why you listed the Snaggletooth Shark Tooth in your identification listing. Is it possible to find these teeth here since the shark's natural range India and China and the Western regions of Australia. Hard to believe a tooth could wash that far around the world.
Again–just curious

Long-Term Review: Spank Spike Flat Pedals
Price: $125
As you can probably tell from the photos, I've been beating on Spank's Spike pedals for a couple of seasons now. Before I launch into the full wear-and-tear report, here's a bit of background.
There was a time when flat pedals were the low-tech, mouth-breathing members of the mountain biking component family. That time, however, is long past; the Spike illustrates this fact well.
With the Spike, Spank was aiming to create a lightweight (420 grams for our set) platform pedal that could still withstand the kind of abuse meted out in a gravity-fed world. To that end, they opted to cold forge the pedal body (rather than extrude it), which helped them achieve a tighter and more consistent grain in their alloy platform. This should help the pedal "take" a good hit without getting knocked out of commission. Of course, since it's always smarter to avoid being hit in the first place, the Spike pedal also features chamfered side and leading edges, which improve pedal clearance.
In an attempt to find that balance between "strong" and "light", Spank paired a massive inboard industrial bearing with an outboard IGUS bushing. As for traction control, you're looking at 10 pins per side, eight of which are burly hex-head screws and two of which are grub screws).
The first thing you realize when mounting the Spikes is that you really, really need to run some pedal washers with these things. Sure, you should do that with all your pedals, but the Spikes mount up flush to your crankarms (low q-factor geeks will be stoked…if there are any of those types out there in the flat-pedal fraternity), which means you need those washers in place if you want the pedals to spin freely.
Speaking of spinning, the Spikes don't spin as freely as some other pedals. Spank touts this trait as a bit of a bonus and states that their inboard friction seal reduces "unwanted spin". If you are into jumping, you'll probably dig that aspect of the pedals. For general trail riding, I actually like my pedals to rotate more freely, but then again, after almost two years of running these things, the bearings' performance never actually degraded, which is nothing shy of amazing. Spank truly outdid themselves in the sealing department. Nicely played.
Traction is solid. If I were giving the Spike's grip a rating of 1 to 10, I'd probably score it a 7, with the understanding that I favor a ton of traction in my flat pedals. I like my pedals sticky—that's my personal bias. I ran all 10 pins per side at al times (riders who like less grip will want to pull out the grub screws in the center of the pedal). I would have had a bit more luck with the grip but the bulge in the pedal body that accommodates the oversize inboard bearing had a tendency to lift the ball of my foot off the pedal ever so slightly, which reduced contact with the two, innermost traction pins. If you look closely at the first picture of the pedals within this article, you can see that a good portion of the anodization is actually worn off the bulge–there's the rub. Given the pedal's design, there's no way around that problem. If Spank could somehow remedy that one aspect of the design, the Spike would be hard to beat (particularly at their price).
The Spike platform is just a hair wider than 12 millimeters thick. Even in the world of skinny pedals, these things are damn thin–a trait that helps reduce pedal flip and strikes. Nevertheless, I still managed to shear off two or three pins over the course of the past couple of seasons. Thankfully, the large hex-head traction pins are easy to extract and replace. On a side note, I found that those pins had a tendency to back out over time, so applying a bit of Loctite to `em is a good idea.
Overall durability is excellent, the seals are outstanding and the Spike truly takes a beating. Not a fan of orange? The Spikes are also available in black, grey, red and blue.

Business decision-makers in Asia Pacific (AP) are increasingly aware of the importance of business intelligence (BI) and broader analytics to business strategy and execution. However, lack of internal expertise remains a significant barrier to BI project success.
In response, Fred Giron and I have just published The Forrester Wave™: Business Intelligence Service Providers In Asia Pacific, Q4 2013. In it, we identified eight companies that offer strong capabilities and services for AP-based organizations seeking BI service support.
To succeed in the region, BI service providers must provide guidance on how to translate data access into actual insight and information into business value. This requires a strong understanding of local cultures, business practices, regulatory frameworks, and market dynamics. When evaluating providers, understand how their capabilities are likely to evolve across five categories:

I was recently invited to speak at the three-day Distree Asia Pacific event on technology and business model disruptions and their impact on tech distribution, where I spoke with tech vendors, consumer electronics (CE) giants, tech distributors, retailers, and e-tailers from across Asia Pacific. We discussed various topics, including the channel scenario for the coming two to five years. Based on these inputs and my understanding, I believe that the traditional IT channel, including consumer-focused distributors, will soon disappear unless its current business model changes. Here's why:

A weak global economic recovery and unstable domestic spending slowed economic and tech industry growth in China in 2013, affecting export-oriented economies in Asia Pacific.

Carrier Ethernet aims to provide users with a wide-area service to connect sites, in the same way that asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), Frame Relay, and X.25 services from carriers have done in the past. While end user demand for carrier Ethernet services in Asia is relatively small, it's growing year over year and is having an impact on service providers' bottom lines: Carrier Ethernet services currently account for 8% to 10% of service providers' total connectivity revenues in the region.
For The Forrester Wave™: Asia Pacific Carrier Ethernet Services, Q4 2013, we identified, qualified, and evaluated seven global and regional service providers that offer unmanaged site-to-site carrier Ethernet services to multinational companies in Asia Pacific: BT, Orange Business Services, Pacnet, SingTel, Tata Communications, Telstra Global, and Verizon. Key differentiators include the services that each vendor has on offer, such as flexibility in bandwidth bursting, granularity of access speeds, operational metrics and reporting, network coverage, and service-level agreements.

Post subject: Possible Redskins & Panthers Draft Day TRADE...
now I have no link to it..and we will never know forsure about these things till draft day..but I'm hearing and seeing things that could make where the Panthers trade the #14 overall pick, 3rd, 6th round pick to the Redskins for the #9 overall pick this is all depending on if Derrick Johnson is there at #9 if so the Panthers trade up ahead of the Lions and snag DJ...
The Redskins with there major needs being DE & CB and maybe WR.... 14 will be a place where you can still get either Carlos Rogers or Pac-man Jones or Erasmus James, Marcus Spears or WR in Williamson or Clayton..and get some extra picks out of the deal...
The Panthers have not came out and said it..but have been working out guys like DJ, Rolle, Barron ALL guys that seem to be almost certain not to be there at 14...and also have been reports them saying with the Panthers roster being stocked with alot of young talent already in place they could use some mid-late round picks to trade up and get a player they really want and they seem to be enamered with Derrick Johnson..

I can see DJ falling to the #9 spot, which would present the perfect opportunity for the Skins to trade down. The trade with the Panthers could be very likely if DJ drops.

Well...if Mike Williams is gone, which seems likely, I have no problem with this move. Of course, it depends on what we would get in return, but clearly I would do it for the 14 and the second rounder. Of course, I would only do it if we felt certain that either Rogers, Pac-Man, or Merriman was going to be there. I would really like to leave this draft with one out of Braylon, MW, Merriman, Rolle, Rogers, or Pac-Man, in that order.

I don't think the Panthers would trade there 2nd rounder to go up those 5 spots..b/c we also would wanna start adding a OG/OT with our 2nd rounder being Elton Brown or Marcus Johnson or even Chris Spencer at center with our 2nd round pick..so I don't really see us trading our 2nd rounder..
at 14 with ya'll trading down...Carlos Rogers or Pac-Man Jones will def. be there at 14...I don't think Merriman will be there..b/c I still see him going #3 overall..also with ya'll trading down I think Williamson will almost def be there at 14 and Mark Clayton becomes a possible pick for you guys at 14 too..
I dunno ya'lls feelings on all the DE's..but more and likey Erasmus James will be there too unless the Lions get him..
also Heath Miller will be there also if thats the route ya'll wanna go..

That seems like a good trade, but I really would like for the Redskins to get into the second round. If the Redskins can't get a 1st and second round pick, via trading down, then I say they stay at number nine and select Merriman, if he's available.

FWIW, according to the draft charts I have seen, the difference between the 9th pick and the 16th pick is 350 which would be made up by a 2nd rounder (the 55th pick overall) or by a 3rd and 4th pick. Not saying these value charts are accurate but throw it out here for discussions sake.

Understood..but we have the 14 and 45 picks...and when I added all this up to make sure it was close to the "value" charts and it was within 20 points...
BTW when you look back at trades...those charts rarely equal out they always are around the neiborhood

That trade could definately benefit both teams, I like it, even for the 3rd rounder. I agree that 1 or 2 of Rogers, Jones or Merriman, Spears, James should still be available with the 14th.
Maybe they could throw Rod Gardner in the mix to get the 2nd instead of the 3rd rounder?

I like the idea of the trade but if the redskins do decide to trade down, they really need to make one to two drops in the first to the very early twenties, make sure and pick up a second (and a thrid if they drop twice) Work Gardner for whatever we can get for him, then use the picks to fill holes.
I am comfortable taking the best CB at 9, prefer Rolle, or Merriman but I am not apposed to trading down. Wish we had our second rounder, we could really land someone decent at 9th in the second.

I think that we should go with this trade if possible, we could pick up Heath Miller, Carlos Rogers, or Pac-Man cause i know he'll still be around. Concerning trading Gardner I think if we can't get a quality player in the draft for him then don't trade him. Because with this trade with the panthers (or anyother team) and the a trade for Gardner that would give the skins 3 3rd rounders, which we could use but don't really need. I say keep Gardner becuase he is a big WR that already knows the offense, and without him we would be starting two new WR that would have to learn Ramseys arm strength. Which Moss doesn't seem to want to put the time into learning. The only reason i want to get rid of Gardner is the cap room that would be freed up

Hey, I'm looking at only Mike Williams at the #9 spot. Antrell Rolle is a stretch, and I wouldn't give up a #9 for him anyway. But if Gibbs take Rolle at 9, I'll shut up because I know he'll produce. I rather trade down for a different cornerback (Rogers or Washingtono) at a lower round and pick up a 2nd rounder to draft Matt Jones. I still like Pollack or Dan Cody, I believe we can get Dan Cody with a 2nd rounder in a trade for Garnder. This would be a good draft if the plan goes this way.

I Had Fat Injected into my Lower Face and I LOVE IT. Why Doesn't Everyone Do It?

I always have botox in between my eyebrows and above my brows. I was going to do a filler in my lower face to have more youthful look. I asked my long time Dr. what could be done. She never mentioned transferring fat. After my full TT and breast lift consult I asked the same question. It was decided to I would do it. The results are incredible. I love it! I think I was lucky to have this procedure done by someone with a lot of experience! So why don't more people have it done?

The Rebel's in the Details
By Noel Black On August 21, 2012 · 1 Comment · In A Big Something, Arts & Culture, Awesome, Car Culture, Design
While we don't like to indulge in puns as often as newspapers, we couldn't help ourselves any more than we could when we indulged in the eye candy that was this past weekend's annual Good Times Car Show in Old Colorado City. From Dodge to Delorean, the cars on display represent the best designs from a century of automobiling. But when every car's a looker, it's the little details that truly stand out.
Music in the piece is:

66 mainly Shi'a Muslim pilgrims have been killed in another day of violence in Iraq. The country is continuing to experience its worst sustained wave of sectarian attacks in more than five years.
Monday's deadliest attack came in the southern Baghdad suburb of al-Rasheed, where at least 22 people were killed and dozens of others wounded when two car bombs struck a group of pilgrims, attempting to walk to the holy city of Karbala.
In Tal Afar, near the northern city of Mosul, gunmen opened fire on a bus carrying Shi'a pilgrims to Karbala, killing at least 11 and wounding several others.
They were among hundreds of thousands of pilgrims making their way to Karbala to commemorate Arbaeen, which concludes 40 days of mourning following the anniversary of the death of Imam Husayn, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, who is revered by all Muslims.
Among the other attacks on Monday; at least three police officers were killed after a car bomb was set off in the down of Beiji, around 250 kilometers (155 miles) north of Baghdad. One news agency reported that as many as eight police officers had been killed.
In all, at least 66 people were killed across the country on Monday.
Sustained upsurge in violence
This has been the worst year in terms of violence that Iraq has seen since 2007, when sectarian violence pushed the country to the brink of civil war. United Nations figures put the death toll from November alone at 659. More than 6,000 have been killed since the start of 2013.
The latest upsurge in violence began after security forces launched a deadly crackdown on a Sunni protest camp north of the capital back in April. Members of Iraq's Sunni minority say they face discrimination at the hands of the country's Shiite-led government.

The Kent State football team saved its best performance of the season for last, trouncing host Ohio 44-13 on Tuesday at Peden Stadium in the Golden Flashes' season finale.
The Flashes all-around best game of the season included the most points scored in a game, the largest margin of victory and season highs of 29 first downs and 537 yards of total offense.
Although it wasn't enough to save the 2013 season from ultimately being labeled as disappointing in finishing with a 4-8 record, 3-5 in the Mid-American Conference, the Flashes rebounded to notch their first back-to-back wins of the season — doing so in exciting fashion.
"The season itself didn't start out the way we wanted it to, but we finished it the way it should have," junior nose tackle Nate Terhune said. "That was huge for the seniors, and I was just so happy for them."
After holding a slight 17-13 lead at halftime, Kent State scored on its first possession of the second half and never looked back while racking up 34 unanswered points, including 27 in a second half that featured the team's play of the year.
A week ago, Kent State coach Paul Haynes called his team's mishandled fake punt attempt against winless Miami "the worst fake punt in the history of college football".
Tuesday, the Flashes redeemed the trick play when Terhune, a nose tackle who had suffered a broken leg eight weeks ago, took a fake and rumbled 61 yards — hurdling a Bobcats defender along the way — en route to a touchdown.
"I had visualized that leap since last year when we played Bowling Green, and I tried to hurdle that guy and didn't get my leg high enough," Terhune said of his first fake-punt carry last season. "That's how I had imagined the play to go all along, but I couldn't have done it without the guys up front getting good blocks. I just had to beat one guy."
The first half of the game had its own potential Top 10 play when receiver Chris Humphrey went up high over the middle and came down with a stunning one-handed reception in the second quarter. It was his 20th consecutive game with at least one catch.
In between, versatile speedster Dri Archer scored three times to give him 11 touchdowns on the injury-shortened season to finish his Kent State career just one score shy of tying former Flashes quarterback Josh Cribbs' school-record of 41.
Before all that exciting action came a battle of the kickers as Ohio's Josiah Yazdani booted a 20-yard field goal to put the Bobcats (6-5, 3-4) on the board with 12:06 left in the first quarter.
Kent State's Anthony Melchiori soon evened things up with a career-best 47-yarder, a feat in its own right considering he wasn't expected to play again this year after injuring his hamstring Oct. 12. He finished with a career-high three made field goals.
But Yazdani seemed to tell Melchiori "anything you can do, I can do better" by nailing a 49-yard field goal with nine seconds left in the field-goal filled first quarter to give the Bobcats a 6-3 advanatge.
Archer's first score came on a 24-yard scamper with 13:34 to go in the second quarter, but Ohio quarterback Tyler Tettleton gave the host their final lead with a 1-yard touchdown pass with 10:04 to go in the half.
Despite a rare missed field goal by Melchiori late in the second quarter, Kent State still managed to take a 17-13 lead into the locker room at halftime when receiver Casey Pierce won a jump ball between three defenders in the end zone, hauling in an 11-yard touchdown pass from Colin Reardon with 31 seconds left in the half.
"To send our seniors out the right way on a two-game winning streak is good for our program going into the offseason," Haynes said. "To come out with two good wins just catapults us to have a good offseason. ... It's very important, because we can break them down a little bit more in the offseason and then we will build them back up. For them to have the confidence to play so well is huge going into the offseason."
Ohio, which has lost its last three games, wraps up its regular season Nov. 29 against visiting UMass.
"We're a football team that's spiraling down, and we're struggling trying to bring ourselves out of it," Bobcats head coach Frank Solich said.
Flashes senior Roosevelt Nix had six tackles, a forced fumble and a tackle for loss to finish his career with a school-record 65 tackles for loss, 10 ahead of second place Micahael Zele (1975-78). Nix totaled 12 forced fumbles and 24 sacks, one behind KSU's career sack leader Justin Parrish. ... Junior Malcolm Pannell had his second interception in as many games and third of the season. ... Senior Tyshon Goode finished his career second in career receptions with 181, second in receiving yards with 2,272 and third in touchdown catches with 14. He made five grabs for 55 yards Tuesday night. ... Freshman safety Nate Holley recorded a career-high 12 tackles. ... The Flashes have won five of the past seven meetings against Ohio and are 5-4 against the Bobcats during the Solich era.

2000 Chevrolet Cavalier Problems
RepairPal has identified the most common problems with the 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier based on complaints from actual vehicle owners. We'll tell you what the problem is and what it'll take to fix it.
A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.
A coolant leak may develop from the water pump. The engine may overheat as a result of the coolant loss. A leaking water pump should be replaced.
The turn signal switch in the steering column may fail causing the turn signals not to work on one or both sides.
The engine vacuum hose to the MAP sensor may crack resulting in a vacuum leak causing the engine to run rough and/or stall.
Illumination of the Check Engine Light may be the result of a loose or worn gas cap.
The ignition coil housing may fail causing an engine misfire on one or more cylinders.
The fuel pump may fail causing the engine to stall and not restart.
The serpentine belt tensioner can fail; it may become noisy and/or the belt may jump off. Replacement of the failed tensioner will be necessary.
It is not uncommon for the power steering rack to develop a fluid leak requiring replacement of the rack assembly. Loss of power steering fluid may also cause an abnormal noise and damage to the power steering pump
Front brake rotors can wear causing a pulsation felt in the brake pedal. Our technicians tell us this condition is best corrected by replacement of the front rotors and brake pads.
The Engine Control Module (ECM) can fail causing stalling, and engine and transmission drivability concerns.
The spark plugs should be replaced every 100,000 miles. Our technicians recommend replacing the spark plug wires also at this time.
You may be able to prevent transmission problems by servicing the transmission and inspecting the fluid every 30,000 miles. If the fluid is dark or burned then the transmission system should be completely flushed.

I read last week about an exciting challenge to limit yourself to wearing only six items of clothing in one month. A very cool exercise to demonstrate how little we really need to consume. Intriguing yes. I was immediately hooked into thinking about which items I would choose. Until I read that in this "shopping diet" you could actually use multiples of the same item if they were similar. So if I had three pairs of black jeans, I could count that as one. Easy to stack the deck here, especially if you like black.

A few weeks ago Oracle published an SAP SD-Parallel benchmark result. And a press release about it. One could question whether it's really news when someone touts a .4% difference. Yes, that's point four percent. But that's for another story.

The point here is that Oracle compared this parallel SD result to other vendors' regular SD results. Which is not illegal. But it could be stacking the deck. Yes, it's true, the two benchmarks use the same business transactions and processes. But there is a big difference. Parallel benchmarks employ data distribution. As highlighted on the SAP website "It is generally accepted that data distribution can significantly influence the benchmark result in a parallel environment."

The benchmarks clearly have different names -- SD vs. SD-Parallel -- for a reason. So the difference will be recognized. But possibly only by the reader who is looking for these things.

Which reminded me of the husband of the woman who only wore six items. He didn't even notice. She was upset because he's the one who does the laundry -- and he didn't even notice.

Xena Loves Our Sheets to Pieces! How Do I Keep Her From Eating Them?
Xena just turned 8 months old. Even while teething, she has never chewed on furniture, shoes, kids toys, etc. She is fully house-broken and crate trained. We recently allowed her to be un-crated overnight. I don't want her to have to be boxed up all night, especially when she is protective of our family; I don't see a point in her being stuck in a cage, should anything ever happen.
Our trouble is that she chews on bedding! Sheets, blankets, pillowcases, etc. We find them litterally in pieces every morning! She understands that she is not allowed on the couch (leather & sharp claws don't mix
), the recliner or mine & my husband's bed. She is allowed on the kids' bed and she has her own futon in the living room (which by the way, has a sheet on it that she has never attempted to chew on).
I'd like to know how to get her to stop doing this...? I'm home with her all day nearly everyday and she never tries it during the day, even when we have to be away...she sleeps with our boys and she only chews this stuff when everyone is asleep, so I never catch her doing it to be able to stop her in the act. Between training and 4 active kids she gets plenty of exercise, and she is never without a few toys. I'm wondering though, did I make a mistake in getting her a rope toy, as it is also fabric?
Within a week we have thrown out 2 sheet sets, pillowcases and all, and 3 blankets! Are there exercises I can do with her to teach her that this is not okay? She is very smart and highly trainable...I just don't know what I need to do to help her understand that this behavior is unacceptable.
I really don't want to start crating her back up at night but hubby says if we can't get this resolved its back in the box for poor Xena
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

(EMPORIA, Kan.) — The sixth-ranked Jennies had their seven-game win streak snapped by the No. 3 Emporia State Lady Hornets 80-67 Saturday night at the William L. White Auditorium.
The Jennies (12-2, 6-2 MIAA) started out fast, jumping to a 15-8 lead 5:15 into the game and stretching the lead to as many as 10 over the Lady Hornets (16-0, 7-0 MIAA) in the opening half.
However, UCM's lead quickly evaporated over the next 7:02 as Emporia State's Laura Patrick, Amber Vandiver and Merissa Quick combined for 15 points en route to a 17-5 run to knot the game at 26-26.
The two teams exchanged leads two times before Emporia State ended the half scoring four unanswered points, taking a 35-31 lead into halftime. The Jennies were outscored 10-2 in bench points and 11-6 in points off turnovers in the first 20 minutes.
Emporia State's Desiree Wylie scored four points in under a minute to help increase the Lady Hornets' lead to 10 at 43-33 with 15:40 remaining. ESU maintained their offensive intensity, outscoring UCM 9-4, reaching their biggest advantage of the game at 52-37.
The Jennies battled back courtesy of a pair of three-pointers from Quinnecia Twine and Justina Prairie Chief to cut Emporia State's lead to eight with 10:10 left in the game.
Six unanswered points by the Lady Hornets over the next minute and a half kept the Jennies behind by 14, but eight straight points from BreAnna Lewis and Keuna Flax pulled UCM to within 62-56 with seven and a half minutes to go. The six-point margin was as close as the Jennies would come for the rest of the game, as the Lady Hornets outlasted UCM 18-11, giving UCM its first loss since Nov. 29.
Lewis led Central Missouri in scoring for the second straight game with 22 points on 7-of-17 shooting from the floor. Flax was the only other Jennie to reach double-figures with 19 points. She added five rebounds and was 6-of-6 from the free-throw line.
The Jennies are 5-2 away from the Multipurpose Building for the third-consecutive season.
UCM will be back at home on Jan. 15 to host Missouri Western for a 5:30 p.m. tipoff.

Almost 1.4m working days were lost through industrial disputes last year, the highest total since 1990, a new study has revealed.
The figure was boosted by the one-day stoppage by public sector workers last November in the bitter row over the government's controversial pension changes.
The Office for National Statistics said there were 149 separate stoppages in 2011, with almost twice as many in the public sector as in private firms. In total, 1,389,700 working days were lost, up by more than a million on 2010. More than 1.5 million workers were involved in labour disputes, almost 12 times the number in 2010.
The data shows there has been a decline in the number of strikes over the past decade, although large-scale stoppages are becoming more common.
Most disputes in 2011 involved pay, although rows over job losses also sparked strikes.
Just over half of the strikes lasted a day, including the huge walkout by public sector workers.
More than 110,000 days were lost through disputes in private firms last year, the highest since 2004.
Almost 1,000 ballots for strikes were held during the year, the highest number since 2006, with most returning majorities in favour.
