Animals / Mammal Facts / Rhinoceros - Horns and Bulk
Rhinoceros - Horns and Bulk
There are five species of rhinoceros left in the world. In Asia, there is the Indian, the Javan and the Sumatran rhinoceros. The Sumatran is the rarest of them all, and the Javan is a protected species, with only around 60 remaining. The Asian species have thick folded skin that almost appears to be battle armor. Rhinos have three toes on each foot.
Rhinos in Africa
In Africa, there are two main species: the white and the black. The white rhinoceros is actually gray, and it got its name from the Dutch word "weit", meaning "wide". This refers to the wide, flat lip it has, which is adapted for grazing. There are two subspecies of white rhino: the Northern and Southern. Both subspecies were nearly hunted into extinction, and were only saved by careful breeding in game reserves. The northern white rhino is currently a threatened species, due to instability in the DRC, where it lives on game reserves.
The black rhinoceros has a hooked lip and can have a front horn up to 4.5 ft (1.4 m). It is also gray in color, with a tough, leathery, fur-less hide.
Both African species have two horns: a smaller and a larger one, with the larger one positioned at the front. The horns are strong and sharp, and are used for defensive combat. Typically, a rhino will charge its opponent, with its horn lowered. They reach speeds of up to 48 km/h (30 mph) and in most cases, a direct hit from a charging rhino is lethal for humans. These creatures are surprisingly agile, despite their bulk and relatively short legs. Black adult rhinos can weigh between 1 and 1 ½ tons (2,202 lb to 3,303 lb) while the whites can weigh up to 2 ½ tons.
Oxpeckers and rhinos have a symbiotic relationship. These birds are tolerated by the rhinos, since they eat ticks and act as an early warning system. Rhinos do not have good eyesight, but do have good smell and hearing. It is due to their bad eyesight and aggressive demeanor, that they charge people and vehicles so often.
People are its Biggest Threat
Rhinos have been around for a very long time. Their only real predators have been people. Species like the wooly rhinoceros, which appeared in Asia about 1,000,000 years ago, were hunted to extinction. The Sumatran species is closely related to the wooly rhino. In Africa, they are under constant threat from poachers. Their horns are very valuable on the black market and are believed to have medicinal properties in the Far East. Some conservation projects have involved removing their horns, to protect them as a species.

Fort Gordon lies in Richmond County, which shares a consolidated government with the city of Augusta and is commonly called "Augusta-Richmond County." The installation is very close to Columbia County, Georgia, and just across the Savannah River is Aiken County, South Carolina. The three counties are the hub of the Central Savannah River Area, an eighteen-county region usually called "the CSRA" and having a population of just over 720,000 people.
We're well situated between the Atlantic beaches and Appalachian Mountains, with a major river splitting the area and a 71,000 acre lake nearby. Opportunities for outdoor activities abound, and Fort Gordon and Richmond, Columbia, and Aiken Counties all have plenty of events, entertainment venues, and recreation areas.

The Company
Harbour Rocks Hotel Sydney - 34 Harrington Street, The Rocks, NSW 2000
The food here is outstanding.The restaurant is downstairs from the Harbour rocks hotel, Harrington Street and is in a building that was the first hospital in Sydney. I ate the Burramundi and my husband took the steak. The food is clearly individually cooked to order, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious."TripAdvisor
So very beautiful. Built by 16 Convicts in the 1800's. A gorgeous historical building. Meals devine, staff efficient but not intrusive. Felt welcome and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you all for a lovely evening."TripAdvisor
Have been there twice now quite a few months apart. Food was awesome on both occasions, atmosphere fantastic but the best thing about Scarlett is the staff. They remembered us from before and we really felt like we were with friends. Highly recommended."Facebook

Letter 3
hello how are you today i come onille to send you this emaill to no what i need ni my life and the man that can love me and am sending you a pic of me to see 1. he must be honest with me and himself 2. he must respect family and God 3. he must know how to show emotions 4. he must know how to communicate openly. 5. he should have a romantic heart. What`s my biggest complaint about dating?
it`s so stressful and just to hard cause most people have un-realisted expectations. Let`s get real You can`t be a special kind of stupid. I despise liars, Anyway I want some one who is tried of head games. I am ready to expand my horizons. I`m no longer looking for prince charming, I know he`s no where to be found.
I am a woman who knows what I want and I`m not afraid to ask for it. I`m not trying to be some ones fantasy of an unrealistic & perfect woman I know life don`t began and end in a fairy tale.
I`m in search of some one who can hold a conversation and know the different between conversation and idle chit chat. Someone who know that a commitment is not a vacation. I desire a man who don`t make promises he can`t keep or live up to. I am a devoted person, with a lot of understanding and love to give. A good thing to know about me is: I desire a man not a boy, who is still caught up in the little boyish rules for judgement of a woman. I`m not looking for a man to raise, I looking for a man who can enhance my life, as I will enhance his. I desire a man who can help me finish raising my children that are left at home. Someone who enjoy holidays. Someone who like to just cuddle in front of the TV and make me feel safe. I desire a man who can enjoy a afternoon having a private lunch by the lake, under a nice shade tree, sitting on a blanket feeding each other, with some old school music playing, and after lunch can appreciate just laying on the blanket with the sun on our face together in each other`s arms. I want a man who is secure enough to know that two people can communicate with each other and agree to disagree and still feel good about each other. Can share disappointments in each other with out destroying each other. Can know that part of a growing relationship is exploring and making mistakes alone the way but that is how we learn each other. I am a woman who has learned from my past relationships to leave the past behind.
About Me
I only desire to communicate with men who are honest, and want something real. no game player please. and no who is still in denial about your kids mother, stop useing your kids as a reason to spend time with there mom. no one can stop you from seeing your kids just because you don`t sleep with them or because you have decided to move on ( we all make choices) what is your real choice... God Bless your choices but don`t hurt someone who start to care about you...... Respectfully
About You
The ideal relationship is when you can be comfortable with each other in any given situation. Having the ability to communicate and talk about things especially in stressful situations. I have learned that honesty and communication are to very important aspects of any relationship and are needed for any relationship to succeed. One needs to live life to the fullest because life is too short to worry about little things in your life. To live everyday for what it`s worth. Appreciate the simple things, and take nothing for granted.
Most importantly, to accept people for whom they are.
If you can?t; move on. You can`t and shouldn`t try to change them. (Honesty is the best policy!!!!)good luck with your search. no more disappointments ..... just some one who is looking for the same thing I`m looking for.
"When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a woman, I put away childish things."
I Corinthians 13:11
I Thank God for the good sense to continue to seek HIM in good times and in time of dispair! I LOVE YOU, LORD!
"Finally, my brethen, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spirtual wickedness in high places.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand."
Ephesians 6:10-13
Don`t be deceived they way i have been so many times. you can give man everything, and a foolish man will never know what is right before him because he will always be in denial of what just might be good fo him because he is holding on to sothing or someone who has destroyed him, and he will punish you. but i bless you men and still i will never give up on knowing that i was made from someones rib, and that God will pour me down a bundle of blessing that i can`t contain from my cup over flowing. and pls send me the pic of you
ok and all abut you and what you are looking for in a woaman like me and what love is

Yahoo has been working fast and furious to help their users take their Yahoo account with them across the web using open standards. Today they've released a limited test of a major enhancement to their OpenID provider: when you sign up for Plaxo with your Yahoo ID, you can now opt-in to sharing your Yahoo! profile data–full name, nickname, e-mail address, gender, language, and timezone–almost everything you need to get up and running with Plaxo or most other services. (During this limited test roll-out, sharing of profile data will be available to a few sites, including Plaxo and Jyte.) Best of all, we can now auto-validate your Yahoo! e-mail address (since it's coming from Yahoo!), rather than having to send you one of those e-mail messages to click and confirm you really own it. Yahoo! thus joins Google in their ability to provide an auto-validated email address during sign up, but they've now gone further than any major OpenID provider by also sharing the rest of the profile data. This is a great step forward for Yahoo, relying parties like Plaxo, and the Open Web–congrats are certainly in order!
This announcement comes on the heels of Yahoo's pioneering usability studies on OpenID, which they published for everyone to benefit from (they even went a step further by hosting an OpenID UX Summit on their campus). And Yahoo! is eating their own dogfood–they also recently streamlined and clarified their own OpenID flow. These guys are on a roll, and they've been great to work with!
At the recent Internet Identity Workshop–an biannual gathering of people working on OpenID and related technologies–the folks at Yahoo!, Google, Microsoft, MySpace, and others were all very focused on "how can we make OpenID work better for mainstream users", and the clear consensus was to a) improve the UX, and b) share more data when signing up for a new site. Clearly a lot is happening already in the first category, and Yahoo!'s announcement today marks some serious progress in the second one. The hot topic next is how to let users also seamlessly grant access to their address book or friends list–after all, so many sites today ask you to import your webmail address book to find connections and invite people to join. Technically this will be accomplished via a hybrid OpenID and OAuth protocol and Portable Contacts (Yahoo! today is using the "simple registration extension" to OpenID, which is ideal for transferring basic profile data, but insufficient for providing access to richer private data via APIs). We all made great progress on nailing down the details of this hybrid protocol while at IIW.
Given the excitement and eagerness of all the participants there, I think we can continue to expect more and more data to flow across the OpenID link, which will make it increasingly valuable for Relying Parties like Plaxo, and should incentivize many more sites to become RPs themselves. It's great to see this virtuous cycle in motion, and Plaxo is eager to work with any and all OpenID Providers who want to improve their UX and empower their users to use more of their data across the web!
PS: Here are some screen shots of 1) the "Sign in with your Yahoo! ID" option on Plaxo, 2) the consent page on Yahoo, where you can choose to also share your profile data, and 3) returning to Plaxo with a pre-filled registration page and no need to enter a Plaxo-specific password! Since this is a limited test, we're eager to hear your feedback both at Plaxo and Yahoo!, so if you haven't yet signed up for a Plaxo account, please give it a try and let us know what you think!
PPS: We also discussed this announcement in more detail on thesocialweb.tv — check it out!

If you're going somewhere exotic, check if you need to have vaccinations before you go. Some vaccinations such as for Hepatitis and Tuberculosis need to be received several months before you go, so go and visit your GP as soon as you've decided to travel.
Another thing you may want to consider before you go away is travel insurance. Depending on where you're going and what you're doing, insurance can be a good idea. If you're going somewhere that's potentially a bit dodgy and has a good chance of you being hoodwinked, robbed or mugged (why would you want to go there?) or if you're doing some kind of sport like skiing or skydiving that involves an element of danger, being covered in case the worst happens is not such a bad idea. A great place to search for money advice is and where to find the best deals is moneysavingexpert.com.
Our final piece of advice is to get your currency exchanged before you go. Don't buy your currency at the airport - that's the most expensive place of all! But you can pre-order your money to be collected at the airport, this way you'll get a better deal. Companies such as Travelex and the Post Office usually offer good rates but it's better to order online. Do be very careful when using credit and debit cards abroad - you can have all sorts of fees and extortionate exchange rates piled onto them.

VIDEO: Scholes bags 100th as Man United sneak past Wolves into top spot; Fabregas injury concern as Arsenal beat Burnley; Bolton win massive 6-pointer at Hammers; Penniless Portsmouth beat Brum to reach FA Cup semis
Wolves 0 – Manchester United 1 (Premier League, March 6, 2010) (MOTD highlights here.) After United, without Wayne Rooney, had lacked their usual spark for the majority of the match at Molineux (first half highlights here), and after Wolves had arguably been the better team throughout, ginger legend Paul Scholes collected a Valencia cross from the right, shifted the ball right of a couple of home defenders and drilled a low shot in the far corner to claim his 100th Premier League goal in the 72nd minute. (Second half highlights here.)
Ferdinand & Scholes' post match interview can be seen here, while a separate Paul Scholes interview can be seen here.
Arsenal 3 – Burnley 1 (Premier League, March 6, 2010) (MOTD highlights here.)Â Arsenal's quest for the league title was going well enough at the interval against Burnley after Samir Nasri teed up Cesc Fabregas just after the half hour with a delightful chipped through-ball that the Gunners' captain converted on the half-volley. But Cesc's match was ended shortly after when he appeared to tweak a hamstring and was replaced by Abou Diaby. (First half highlights here.) Amazingly the Clarets pulled level five minutes after the break, Eboue failed to clear his lines properly and Leon Cort kept the ball in the mixer before David Nugent nipped in and lifted his shot over Almunia. After his difficult week with England, Theo Walcott got himself back in the spotlight for the right reasons when he collected Bendtner pass, took a couple of touches to his left and curled a beauty into the far post. At the death Eduardo played a short corner to Andrey Arshavin who smashed a left-footed shot into the bottom corner.
West Ham 1 – Bolton 2 (Premier League, March 6, 2010) Bolton scored a terrific goal to open the scoring in a massive relegation six-pointer at West Ham, Chung-Yong Lee continued to add weight to his burgeoning reputation fizzing a flat cross over from the right that Kevin Davies powered home with a solid header. Bolton doubled their lead thanks to some awful defending from the Hammers, Tomkins failed to shepherd the ball out of play, Davies crossed for Tamir Cohen to knock down for Jack Wilshere who volleyed in his first Bolton goal. (First half highlights here.) With two minutes remaining, Alessandro Diamanti curled a lovely left-footed effort past Jaaskelainen but it proved too little, too late.
Portsmouth 2 – Birmingham 0 (FA Cup quarter-finals, March 6, 2010) (ITV highlights here.)Â After a truly forgettable first half at Fratton Park, Pompey came out after the break with a spring in their step and they managed to get their noses in front when striker Frederic Piquionne (offside) stabbed the ball over the line from two yards out. Penniless Pompey then scored a terrific second to seemingly book their semi-final place at Wembley, O'Hara threaded a perfect pass through to Piquionne, the Frenchman turned Ridgewell inside-out and he coolly finished past a helpless Hart. Birmingham were left disgruntled when a Ridgewell header that clearly crossed the line wasn't given by the match officials.
David James and Jamie O'Hara's post match interview can be seen here.
Fulham 0 – Tottenham 0 (FA Cup quarter-finals, March 6, 2010) A full blooded cup tie saw very few clear cut chances and these two sides will play out a replay on March 24. The Cottagers had the better opportunities but saw Heurelho Gomes produce some good saves.
Rangers 3 – St. Mirren 1 (SPL, March 6, 2010) Ibrox was stunned on the half hour as Graham Carey, on loan from Celtic, pinged a swerving free-kick past a bewildered Allan McGregor as St. Mirren took a shock lead over the Gers. The SPL leaders weren't behind for long as Lee McCulloch slammed home the leveller after St. Mirren fail to clear Kevin Thomson's free-kick. Barely 45 seconds into the second half Lee McCulloch volleyed in Rangers' second after being set up by Kenny Miller. A late third from Nacho Novo brought Rangers one step closer to this season's championship.
Real Madrid 3 – Sevilla 2 (La Liga, March 6, 2010) (Longer highlights here.) Sevilla stunned the Bernabeu after 10 minutes in a move involving both their speedy wingers Navas and Capel, the latter fizzed a cross across goal and Xabi Alonso powered in an og under pressure from Negredo. Sevilla doubled their lead early in the second half when a free-kick from Ivica Dragutinovic evaded everyone including a leaden-footed Casillas. On the hour Cristiano Ronaldo halved the arrears with a left footed strike from inside the box. Four minutes later Sergio Ramos headed home the equaliser from a corner just seconds after Guti had hit the bar. After a sustained spell of pressure, Real Madrid finally made the breakthrough in injury time, Rafael van der Vaart forcing the ball over the line after Palop had saved from Higuain.
Almeria 2 – Barcelona 2 (La Liga, March 6, 2010) Barcelona fell behind after 12 minutes at Almeria as Domingo Cisma headed the hosts in front beating Puyol in the air from a corner. Five minutes from the break Barca won a hugely questionable free-kick on the edge of the Almeria box, but Leo Messi didn't care as he chipped home a sweet set-play to equalise. In the 57th minute Almeria retook the lead as Carlos Puyol, in attempting to cut out a cross, diverted the ball into his own net. And Barca's problems worsened when Zlatan Ibrahimovic was sent off for an off-the-ball incident with Cisma. But Barca didn't wilt, and in the 66th minute Pedro floated in a cross from the left that eventually dropped to Leo Messi to crash in his second equaliser of the match.
Deportivo La Coruna 3 – Tenerife 1 (La Liga, March 6, 2010) A slick attack from Tenerife in the 17th minute cut through the Depor backline and Juanlu fired a fine arrowed strike into the far corner. The Galicians pulled level just after the half hour when Juan Rodriguez powered home a header following a free-kick, and early in the second half Depor took control as Andres Guardado and Diego Colotto fired the hosts into a 3-1 lead.
Roma 0 – AC Milan 0 (Serie A, March 6, 2010) The perfect result for Jose Mourinho and Inter Milan. Milan missed the pace of the injured Alexandre Pato on the right wing, while Roma struggled in attack without Francesco Totti.
Fiorentina 1 – Juventus 2 (Serie A, March 6, 2010) Juve struck after two minutes at Fiorentina when Diego (offside) raced through the Viola's backline and rounded the keeper to score. The hosts pulled level in the 32nd minute when Marco Marchionni ran in unchecked to meet a long ball to the back post and score with a header. The Bianconeri retook the lead 20 minutes from time when an attack involving Diego and Momo Sissoko freed Fabio Grosso in the box and the left-back thumped a ball high into the near post.
Borussia Dortmund 3 – Monchengladbach 0 (Bundesliga, March 6, 2010) Dortmund struck after 14 minutes against Gladbach as Kevin Grosskreutz finished off a precise team attack from 4-yards out. Ten minutes after the break Mohamed Zidan scored a brilliant second, cutting in from the right hand side and lashing a left-footed howitzer into the far top corner. Zidan completed his brace midway through the second half to wrap up the points.
FC Cologne 1 – Bayern Munich 1 (Bundesliga, March 6, 2010) (Longer highlights here.) As if written in the stars, former Bayern forward Lukas Podolski, who has experienced a terrible season with just one goal since returning to Cologne last summer, fired his current employers into a surprise lead over the league leaders with a tomahawk of a free-kick that whizzed high into the net. Bayern pulled themselves level just before the hour mark when Bastien Schweinsteiger smacked home a right wing cross.
Werder Bremen 2 – Stuttgart 2 (Bundesliga, March 6, 2010) (Longer highlights here.) Stuttgart maintained their good form of late early on at Werder, striker Pavel Pogrebnyak sliding in the opener after good work from Alex Hleb down the left hand side on the quarter hour. Cristian Gross's charges bagged a second before the break when Sami Khedira struck three minutes before the interval. Hugo Almeida pulled one back for Thomas Schaaf's side with 16 minutes remaining and Torsten Frings made it 2-2 on 81 minutes from the penalty spot after Stefano Celozzi was adjudged to have fouled Marko Marin in the area.
Wolfsburg 4 – Bochum 1 (Bundesliga, March 6, 2010) Paul Freier put Bochum into a surprise first half lead at Wolfsburg with a tidy strike from inside the area. The reigning champs roared back after the break beginning when Edin Dzeko equalised after an hour. Obafemi Martins made it 2-1 in the 75th minute for the Wolves before Dzeko scored from the penalty spot four minutes later. Jonathan Santana finished off the scoring a minute into stoppage time.
Hamburg 1 – Hertha Berlin 0 (Bundesliga, March 6, 2010) Five minutes from the break Hamburg's Marcell Jansen broke the deadlock with rock-bottom Hertha Berlin.
Freiburg 1 – Hannover 2 (Bundesliga, March 6, 2010) Elson gave the visitors the lead in the 63rd minute only for Yacine Abdessadki to restore parity in the 70th minute. However, three minutes later Papiss Demba Cisse scored an own goal that eventually led Hannover to a vital 2-1 win that sees them draw level on points with Freiburg in the relegation scrap.
Eintracht Frankfurt 1 – Schalke 4 (Bundesliga, March 6, 2010) (Longer highlights here.) Joel Matip gave Schalke the lead in the 12th minute and three minutes later Benedikt Howedes doubled the lead. Although Alexander Meier pulled one back for the hosts seven minutes into the restart Schalke scored twice in the last ten minutes of normal time through Ivan Rakitic and Kevin Kuranyi to win 4-1.
St Etienne 1 – Lille 1 (Ligue 1, March 6, 2010) Emanuel Riviere grabbed the opener for the home side with a neat finish, Stephane Dumont equalised for Lille from a corner.
Nice 2 – Nancy 3 (Ligue 1, March 6, 2010) A lightning start in Nice saw Nancy take a fourth minute lead through Djamel Bakar only for the hosts to level almost instantly when defender Renato Civelli scored from a corner. Nancy retook the lead in the 27th when striker Jonathan Brison scored with an unstoppable strike into the top corner from jut inside the Nice area, but a ding-dong first half ended level-pegging when Chaouki Ben Saada side-footed an equaliser in the 37th. With the match ticking into the second minute of injury time, Issiar Dia collected a rebound to claim all three points for Nancy.
Auxerre 1 – Valenciennes 0 (Ligue 1, March 6, 2010) Auxerre's prolific Polish striker Ireneusz Jelen put the hosts in the lead in the 38th minute against Valenciennes when he beat the offside trap, rounded the keeper, and slotted into an empty net.
Lens 1 – PSG 1 (Ligue 1, March 6, 2010) (Longer highlights here.) After the ball ping-ponged around the PSG area in the 67th minute, Sebastien Roudet was on hand to smash home the opener for Lens. A brilliant last minute free-kick from Stephane Sessegnon earned the Parisians a point.
Rennes 1 – Monaco 0 (Ligue 1, March 6, 2010) (Longer highlights here.) A solitary strike from USA international Carlos Bocanegra with 28 minutes on the clock proved to be the difference at Route de Lorient.
Sochaux 1 – Toulouse 0 (Ligue 1, March 6, 2010) Sochaux secured three much-needed points as they saw off Toulouse 1-0. They were thankful to Ryad Boudebouz's 82nd minute effort for handing them a first victory in six outings.
NAC 2 – PSV 1 (Eredivisie, March 6, 2010) Eredivisie leaders PSV Eindhoven suffered their first defeat of the season, losing 2-1 at NAC Breda. Orlando Engelaar gave the visitors the lead after 18 minutes but Donny Gorter (35) equalised and Robbert Schilder grabbed a surprise winner 17 minutes from time. The defeat leaves PSV just one point ahead of FC Twente, who have a game in hand.
AZ Alkmaar 4 – Heerenveen 1 (Eredivisie, March 6, 2010) AZ Alkmaar bolstered their European bid by coming from behind to thrash Heerenveen 4-1. The visitors took the lead when Filip Djuricic smashed in a superb goal in the 20th minute. But AZ equalised within two minutes through Maarten Maartens before further strikes from Mounir El Hamdaoui, Jeremain Lens and Brett Holman swept the hosts to a comfortable win.
ADO Den Haag 1 – Vitesse 1 (Eredivisie, March 6, 2010) After Lasse Nilsson's well-worked goal had given Vitesse the lead, Christian Kum headed in Pascal Bosschaart's corner to ensure a share of the spoils.
Heracles 3 – Willem II 2 (Eredivisie, March 6, 2010) Heracles got off to the perfect start when Darl Douglas fired them ahead in the third minute, but Gerson Sheotahul levelled 20 minutes later. However, goals from Marko Vejinovic and Everton either side of the break put the hosts firmly in the driving seat before Sheotahul grabbed his second of the night in the 65th minute.
Porto 2 – Olhanense 2 (Liga Sagres, March 6, 2010) Porto suffered a major scare to their fantastic home record when Djalmir scored a diving header in the 12th minute and then Djalmir bagged a second three minutes later. Porto saved the game late on, Radamel Falcao pulled a goal back in the 80th and Freddy Guarin notched an injury time equaliser.
Vitoria Setubal 0 – Braga 0 (Liga Sagres, March 6, 2010) Braga went back to the top of the table with a point won at relegation battling Vitoria Setubal, but Domingos Paciencia's team will be disappointed they missed the chance to put more pressure on Benfica, who will look to reclaim top spot at home to Pacos Ferreira.
Rio Ave 0 – Naval 0 (Liga Sagres, March 6, 2010)
PAOK 3 – Panthrakikos 0 (Greece Super League, March 6, 2010) PAOK kept their position at the top of the table win goals from Stelios Malezas, Olivier Sorlin and Lino.

Sivasspor 0 – Buyuksehir 1 (Super Lig, March 6, 2010) Tevfik Kose scored the goal as Buyuksehir BSK won 1-0 at Sivasspor despite the last-minute sending-off of substitute Oguz Sabankay, who had been on the pitch only 15 minutes.
Trabzonspor 3 – Genclerbirligi 1 (Super Lig, March 6, 2010) Sandro had given the visitors the lead but Burak Yilmaz quickly made it 1-1. It appeared that was how it would stay, but substitute Drago Gabric struck a minute from time and there was still time for Umut Bulut to bag a third.
Kasimpasa 2 – Kayserispor 2 (Super Lig, March 6, 2010) Abduallah Durak grabbed a last-minute equaliser as fourth-placed Kayserispor came from 2-0 down to earn a point at Kasimpasa. Yekta Kurtulus gave Kasimpasa a first-minute lead and Merthan Acil doubled the advantage a minute after half-time, but Ariza Makukula pulled one back before Durak's late intervention.
Illitchivets Mariupol 1 – Dynamo Kiev 1 (Ukrainian Premier League, March 6, 2010) Despite going down to 10-men when Artem Savin saw red in the 64th minute, Illitchivets took the lead when Ihor Tyshchenko slid home a cross in the 77th minute. Kiev salvaged a point when Roman Zozulya scrapped home an equaliser seven minutes later.
Austria Vienna 0 – LASK Linz 1 (T-Mobile Bundesliga, March 6, 2010)

Gamba Osaka 1 – Nagoya Grampus Eight 2 (J-League, March 6, 2010) Dragan Stojkovic's side got a fine away win at Gamba on the opening day of the season, Keiji Tamada giving the visitors a 14th minute lead when he met Josh Kennedy's knock-down in the 6-yard box. Takahiro Futagawa sidefooted Gamba level in the 22nd minute after the hosts kept the pressure on from a corner, but Aussie striker Kennedy picked up where he left off last season claiming a second half winner when he bundled the ball over the line from 2-yards.
Kawasaki Frontale 2 – Albirex Niigata 1 (J-League, March 6, 2010) Last season's runners-up Kawasaki Frontale opened their campaign with a victory at home to Albirex Niigata. Renatinho opened the scoring for Kawasaki inside the opening sixty seconds of the season, while Junichi Inamoto, making his first J-League appearance in almost nine years, won possession before setting up Kawasaki's second goal for Masaru Kurotsu. Cho Young-Cheol netted a consolation for Niigata midway through the second half.
FC Tokyo 1 – Yokohama F.Marinos 0 (J-League, March 6, 2010) After finishing fifth last season, FC Tokyo got their new season off to a winning start courtesy of Sota Hirayama's injury time winner at the back-post.
Boca Juniors 1 – Racing Club 2 (Clausura, March 6, 2010) After drawing five of their opening seven games, winning once and losing the other, the Buenos Aires giants had hoped to pick up form but they remain mired in a slump. They opened the scoring after 13 minutes when Nicolas Gaitan found the net, but it took Racing Club just two minutes to draw level through Brian Lluy.

A Visit to Lost Wax Studio in NYC
While in New York City recently for the Women's Jewelry Association In The Know conference, I paid a visit to an interesting store in Nolita. Lost Wax Studio is an innovative approach to retail that you should drop by if you have a chance.
In a charming storefront at 171 Elizabeth Street, you can often find one of the three owners–Tam Tran, Yuval Alexander, or Christine McKee–available to take you through a little guided tour. The curated jewelry on display is mostly handmade, and locally sourced. With designers such as Aroc Urtu–a favorite of mine, profiled here–and quite a few others, I found the jewelry to be beautifully made and very reasonable.
Warm and welcoming, the space is not about traditional jewelry cases. They have a variety of displays encouraging exploration and play.
The really interesting thing is that Lost Wax (the term is a play on jewelry casting terminology) offers workshops where customers can make beautiful, on-trend jewelry. For less than the cost of a designer wrap bracelet, you can learn to make your own, and custom make it to your aesthetic! The old static approach to retail is changing, and innovative retailers such as Lost Wax are evolving to satisfy people's needs to connect and engage, not just passively shop.
This is a great place for discovery of interesting, handmade jewels crafted close by in New York City. Stop in to play, or to make something. You might find you learn something about yourself in the process.
Lost Wax Studio, 171 Elizabeth Street, NYC 10012 (between Spring + Kenmare), 646.485.1117 phone, or visit www.lostwaxstudio.com.

|Overview - Exodus 39
|The cloths of service and holy garments.
|The ephod.
|The breast-plate.
|The robe of the ephod.
|The coats, mitre, and girdle of fine linen.
|The plate of the holy crown.
|All is finished, reviewed, and approved by Moses.
Exodus 39:6 (King James Version)
And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
- onyx stones
- The meaning of the word {shoham} is not easily determined. It has been variously rendered a beryl, emerald, prasius, sapphire, sardius, ruby, carnelian, onyx, and sardonyx. It may signify both the onyx and sardonyx. The latter stone is a mixture of the chalcedony and carnelian, sometimes in strata, and at other times blended together, and is found striped with white and red strata, or layers. It is generally allowed that there is no real difference, except in hardness, between the carnelian, chalcedony, agate, sardonyx, and onyx. The onyx is of a darkish horny colour, resembling the nail or hoof, from which circumstance it has its name [(onyx).] It has often a plate of a blueish white or red in it, and when on one or both sides of this white there appears a plate of a reddish colour, the jewellers call the stone a sardonyx.
- 25:7 28:9 35:9 Job 28:16 ; Ezekiel 28:13
- ouches
- {Mishbetzoth,} strait places, sockets, to insert the stones in, from {shavatz,} to straiten, enclose.

Who is the most satisfied with their smartphone? iSheep? Fandroids? According to the 2012 Wireless Smartphone Satisfaction Study by J.D. Power and Associates, people who purchase Apple [2] are.
In its study J.D. Power asked consumers to rate their smartphone on four criteria (performance, physical design, features, and ease of operation) on a scale of 1-5 (with 5 being the best). The only criterion to take part in this study was owning a smartphone for less than one year. The results? The iPhone [3]received 5/5 marks across the board, leading to a 849/1000 rating for Apple. HTC [4] got second place with an average 3/5 rating for its devices and an overall 790/1000 for HTC while Samsung [5] took third with 3/5 device rating and 782/1000 overall. Motorola [6], Nokia [7], LG, RIM, and HP follow behind in that order. The chart below shows the full result of the survey (click on the chart to enlarge it):
Interestingly enough, this is the eighth consecutive year that Apple has topped this study. So either Apple is doing something right, Android manufacturers are doing something wrong, or iDevice owners really love their phones.
Other interesting information provided by J.D. Power's study is
- People who social network and play games on their smartphones are more satisfied with their devices
- People who social network and play games typically spend $12-13 more on data every month
For anyone interested in who took the crown for customer satisfaction of feature phones, it is LG.

Thanks for the tour. Looking good. The library shelf (two sided) is great for the space too.
Tonight I deleted my brother Rob's Linky followers.
(islandrustic.blogspot.com> Could NOT believe I did that - I was editing his layout for him. Could not get it back either. I am emailing the Linky author to see if he has ever dealt with this problem.
I haven't talked to him yet, I did sent an email saying how sorry I was and put up a post on his blog saying what had happened and asked readers to link up again, but unfortunately so many of the followers were dropping in from linky parties and may never peek again.

Your booth is bigger than I realised - I like the primitive corner, old countrystyle household implements really appeal to me.

Thanks for the heads up on your brother's blog, Joy. I'll sign back up this morning.
John, we're looking forward to the weekend! Larry wants to get back to work on his little cabin--as soon as he finishes cleaning up the old shed he knocked down. That will be his weekend project.
It's actually not a big booth, Rowan--I think the photo just makes it look that way :) It's 8x10 and I've got it close to full now. Taking a bit more over today.

Wow! You have a lot of great looking things there Granny Sue! A very nice assortment too!
I also wanted to give you a heads up that I'm having a terrible time reading the new word verification words since they changed it. I think I can make this one out which is why I am trying to comment. A lot of other bloggers are saying they can't read them too. Just thought you'd like to know.

Thanks, everyone! We'll see how it goes. If this location doesn't do well, I may try a different mall in another town. I'll give it a few months to see how it goes.
Angela, I'm having the same problem! I thought it was just my old eyes :)
I may try taking it off again but last time I did that I got so many spammers that I had to put it back. Sure takes the fun out of it, though.

We recently visited Cafe New Paris for dinner and was pleasantly surprised to find the restaurant was not very full. Remembering my previous visit a year and a half ago the place was rammed with diners despite it being a weekday.
Claypot Braised Seafood
Their Seafood Pot was very bland. The gravy tasted like plain Oyster Sauce and we could not taste the flavors of the seafood ingredients impart on to the gravy.
Cheong Cheng Fish
A popular method of steaming fish in New Paris. Their Cheong Cheng Sauce had the right amount of sweetness and sourness and contained Pork Lard which I loved.
Water Melon Chicken
This is a signature dish of New Paris. The Chicken was crispy and moist. It was tossed in a sauce that tasted a little like BBQ Sauce. I loved the chicken but don't know how it is suppose to be paired with watermelon.
Stir-Fried Kai Lan
The Kai Lan was quite good although it wasn't as crispy as I'd like. The Pork and Garlic gave it an added flavor.
The food at Cafe New Paris wasn't as good as it used to be. Maybe that explains the lack of diners on the day we went.
Food: 3.5/5

Green tea extract is derived from the green leaves of the tea plant, scientifically known as Camellia sinensis. It has been an essential herb in traditional medicine for centuries, especially in China and India. Green tea extract is also a highly popular dietary supplement in western countries, including the United States.
Green tea extract is available in a variety of specific forms. A strong infusion involves soaking the tea leaves in alcohol, typically resulting in a two percent concentration of green tea extract. A dry extract can be made from this infusion by spraying it onto a surface and allowing it to dry. This process increases the concentration of solids to 40 to 50 percent. A soft extract of green tea leaves is only partially dry and has a concentration of 20 to 25 percent.
The biochemical properties of green tea extract include antioxidant properties. It may also help support healthy inflammation management in the body. The antioxidant properties in green tea extract are primarily due to a class of chemicals called polyphenols, known collectively as Green Tea Polyphenols (GTPs).
Mental alertness is one of the most common uses of green tea extract. It is also used to maintain bone health and manage healthy cholesterol profiles.
Green tea extract helps maintain mental alertness, primarily due to caffeine. This use of green tea extract is often combined L-theanine, which is also a stimulant.
Current research indicates that the long-term use of green tea extract helps to support bone healthy, especially in post-menopausal women.
Green tea extract may help to maintain a healthy cholesterol profile, typically at dosages as high as three grams per day.
Ointments containing green tea extract as an active ingredient are commercially available. This preparation is specifically intended for use on genital warts.
Fatigue and lack of mental alertness are the most common signs that you may benefit from green tea extract. Digestive symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting are additional indications that you may need the digestive health support from green tea extract. Green tea extract may also support healthy weight management. Other signs that you may need green tea extract include poor bone health, circulation and skin problems such as acne and puffy eyes.

Artist: Hawke
Album Title: +++
Writer/Producer: Gavin Hardkiss
Catalog Number: 8TH026D
Eighth Dimension Records is pleased to announce the release of +++, the fourth artist album by Hawke, the song-crafting nome-de-plume of producer/DJ Gavin Hardkiss. Recorded in San Diego and San Francisco between 2004 and 2009, the album was conceived as a creative statement of naive beauty and possibility. "At times I tried to imagine what it would sound like if I was a teenager again making this music alone in my bedroom," Gavin says. "Romantic and futurist, confident and vulnerable, sexually charged and childlike, anticipating something big to happen."
Drawing inspiration from the electronic/"alternative music" hybrids prevalent during the late 80's "Second Summer Of Love" +++ is awash in stylistic curiosities, spirited lyrics, evocative instrumentation, and solid melodies. Its genre-blurring disposition is evident in such gems as "Inside Job" (a dub-influenced ode to theft and temptation penned with original Steve Miller Band guitarist David Denny), the exuberant "Monday Comes And Goes" (a defiant stand against the Monday morning condition), the playful "Everything Is Happening At The Same Time", and "Bob's My Uncle" (Gavin's take on the classic Happy Mondays' song).
For Hawke's +++, Gavin Hardkiss draws deep into his influences, referencing songs and memories from his youth, but still reveals his place in "electronic music royalty" (according to Wired Magazine) with psychedelic dance flourishes. The gorgeous and cascading "My Mom Is Your Dad" would not have been out of place on the seminal Hardkiss album Delusions of Grandeur. And "These Combinations Have Not Been Before" (featuring, as Gavin says, the voice of "a being from another dimension") is filled with a thorough introspection which almost disguises its hypnotic, steady dance rhythm.
In another blow to easy categorization, Gavin Hardkiss has traded the traditional idea of musical remixes to +++'s songs for visual artistic interpretations. A slew of artists, sculptors, and others working in visual mediums have been enlisted to create works based on the songs from +++. The eventual collection will create a traveling art show which will accompany Hawke's performances at various art gallery spaces, eschewing with the idea of a traditional "DJ tour". Renowned artists already on board include Fernando Apodaca, Felipe Merida, and Justin Young.
Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, Gavin Hardkiss now makes his home across the Golden Gate Bridge near the city by the Bay. During the 1990's Gavin was one of the originators of San Francisco dance culture with his music labels Hardkiss and Sunburn. Over the past decade, he has remixed the likes of Led Zepellin, Elton John, Michael Franti and Youssou N'Dour, performed alongside Snoop Dogg and The Buena Vista Social Club and released original recordings in Spain, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Gavin has also developed a successful international DJ career, jetting out weekends to entertain funky hedonists with his provocative beats and gamma rays. He has traveled the world presenting a hybrid sound of house, techno funk and electronic precipitation.
As a producer and performer, he recently worked with the Zhukov Dance Theatre at the Yerba Buena Center on a modern dance production. Under his Hawke guise, Gavin Hardkiss has released multiple singles and three albums, including the critically acclaimed Love Won Another, also released on Eighth Dimension Records. +++ is Hawke's fourth artist album.

Board of Education Meeting Highlights - January 24, 2017
Below is a summary of the January 24, 2017 Princeton Public Schools Board of Education Meeting. To see a summary of the action that was taken during the meeting, please scroll to the end.
Board President Patrick Sullivan used his President's report to share his concerns about the Princeton Charter School's proposal to expand its enrollment by 76 students, which would cost PPS an additional $1.16 million each year. He encouraged the PCS board to withdraw the application and continue to work with PPS in good faith to find a mutually beneficial solution.
Mr. Sullivan voiced strong concern that the process to decide whether to allow the charter school to expand is not democratic, but instead is being made by eight unelected trustees and one appointed commissioner.
Mr. Sullivan concluded that he would like to see PCS and PPS coexist in a long-term, sustainable way where both PCS and PPS could learn from each other.
Board members Dafna Kendal, Betsy Baglio, and Connie Witter all voiced concern about the PCS proposal to expand and expressed a desire to find a solution that is best for the Princeton community and Princeton students.
Marc Dashield, the Administrator for the Princeton municipality, gave a presentation on the local tax levy and how the revenues from taxes are divided between the municipality, the county, and Princeton Public Schools.
To learn more about this topic, please watch
the video of the Board meeting
and scroll to 35:07.
Superintendent Steve Cochrane shared some recent highlights in the district, including the PHS Gives Back day on January 25, the achievements of the fall athletic teams, and a visit to John Witherspoon Middle School from author Jerry Spinelli.
Supt. Cochrane also shared about work the district is doing around diversity and equity.
On December 13, a team of 15 students and staff from PHS attended the second Day of Dialogue alongside many other students from central New Jersey; on January 11, a dozen administrators attended a workshop entitled Diverse Learners and Issues of Equity; on January 30, members of the administrative team will attend another workshop on how to make the conversation about diversity central in schools and classrooms. Throughout the year, teachers are also learning about ways to increase their cultural responsiveness through professional development trainings.
The Board reviewed the Violence and Vandalism Report from the start of the school year through December. Supt. Cochrane noted that the students in the report represent ½ of 1 percent of the total number of students at JW and PHS.
The Board reviewed the HIB Report Card, on which the District scored a 78/78. The report indicated the District's strengths are in the timeliness of reporting HIB incidences, regular meetings of the School Safety Teams, and character education.
The Board reviewed a first draft of the calendar for the 2017-2018 school year. The Board discussed the possibility of adding a full day of conferences on Election Day so that students would not be in schools while the buildings are being used as polling sites. The Board also looked at adding January 3
as the final day of Winter Break for 2018.
During the public comment time, several inquiries were made about incorporating snow days into the calendar as a precaution so that the last day of school could more likely remain set.
Student Representatives to the Board, Brian Li and Abby Emison, reported that PHS students are in the midst of midterms right now, and many students are feeling stressed and are cramming for their exams. Mr. Li and Ms. Emison suggested that in light of the amount of class time that is spent reviewing material for midterms and finals and the time that is spent taking the exams, in addition to the time spent on standardized tests, that the district consider looking at assessments that employ critical thinking skills and use probing questions, such as project-based learning, instead of more traditional tests.
Board members discussed the merits and weaknesses of midterms and finals and Supt. Cochrane explained that one of the goals in the District's Strategic Plan is to bring more innovation into teaching and assessments. He stated that teachers should be allowed to make the right pedagogical decisions for their classes when it comes to assessments.
During the public comment time, several teachers commented on the educational value of midterms and finals, noting the many hours that teachers spend making sure tests are relevant and useful for both students and teachers.
Mr. Li and Ms. Emison also shared that PHS will be conducting the first-ever PHS Gives Back day on January 25. The day is the first in a series of events that are aimed at building school unity. During the PHS Give Back day, students will be making lunches for the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen, creating Valentine's Day cards for senior citizens, and making cancer care packages.
The Personnel Committee reported that at its last meeting, Interim Athletic Director Brian Dzbenski gave a presentation highlighting the achievements of PHS athletes during the fall season.
The Personnel Committee discussed the need to begin developing a plan for engaging alumni, including building an alumni database and looking for opportunities to bring alumni back to PHS and recognize their accomplishments, possibly as a Hall of Fame honoree or for a speaker series.
The Personnel Committee also reported that three significant searches are currently underway: Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction, PHS Assistant Principal, and Athletic Director. All three positions will close at the end of January or beginning of February.
The Policy Committee reported that it will be presenting the first reading of two new policies in February. One will be related to the educational stability for children in foster care and the other will be related the education of homeless children.
The Board had the first reading of a revision to the Board Bylaws. Board member Betsy Baglio explained the intent of the revisions is to provide more communication between committee members, committee chairs, and the full board.
During the public comment time, both a PHS student and a teacher encouraged the Board to find ways to help students be prepared for college and careers, but also to be ready to uphold the nation's democratic values, actively participate in civic duties, and to be able to engage in dialogue with people from various walks of life and who hold various viewpoints.
The Board approved the job description listed below:
Equipment Monitor
The Board approved the purchase of absent and time management software (sub-calling).
The Board approved the purchase of literacy intervention materials from Heineman for a sum of $28,805.00. Materials will be used for targeted and guided remediation of reading skills and progress monitoring for the AIS programs in the elementary schools.
The Board welcomed the following staff to the district for the 2016-2017 school year: Ackerman, Andrea, Visual Arts (LR), Johnson Park Elementary, effective January 23, 2017; Manju Chawla, Special Education Assistant, Johnson Park Elementary, effective January 17, 2017; Ko Choi, Special Education Assisant-Autism, Riverside Elementary, effective February 8, 2017; Sidoney Daley, Instructional Assistant, Johnson Park Elementary, effective January 25, 2017; Lalainya Fox, Special Education Assistant-Autism, Princeton High School, effective January 23, 2017; Johanna Hunsbedt, Social Studies Teacher (LR), Princeton High School, effective February 6, 2017; Nnenna Nwachukwu, Instructional Assistant (.8)/Nurse (.2), Princeton High School, effective January 9, 2017; Jamar Reed, Special Education Assistant, Johnson Park Elementary, effective February 1, 2017; Andre Thompson, Bus Driver, Valley Road, effective January 11, 2017; Karen Fosina, Special Education Assistant-PT, Riverside Elementary, effective February 7, 2017; and Marin Naya, AIS Instructional Assistant-PT, Riverside Elementary, effective February 1, 2017.

Land Trust Alliance Praises Congressional Deal Breaking Conservation Legislation
The Land Trust Alliance Wednesday praised a bipartisan congressional agreement that would make permanent a tax incentive supporting land conservation. "This could be the most important conservation legislation in 20 years," said Rand Wentworth, the Alliance's president. "It will result in the conservation of millions of acres of America's most important natural areas, farms and ranches. This agreement demonstrates that we as a nation treasure our lands and must conserve their many benefits for all future generations." The incentive grants certain tax benefits to landowners who sign a conservation easement. Such private, voluntary agreements with local land trusts permanently limit uses of the land in order to protect its conservation value. The incentive advanced through Congress as part of the America Gives More Act, a package of tax incentives to encourage charitable giving. It passed the House earlier this year, 279-137. A standalone version of the incentive, the Conservation Easement Incentive Act, had 52 Senate sponsors this year. The agreement announced Wednesday additionally encourages donations to food banks and facilitates charitable deductions from IRAs...more
