My 2 cents:
1.) Howard- The after photo makes him look like he is 30. Unless this surgeon has a time machine there is no way he is looking like that.
2.) Gary- Why bother? Looks like he should be a Walker on The Walking Dead.
3.) Hein- Should have been given hair plugs and a treadmill and he would be fine.
4.) Benji- Howard's wig looks better. Other than that, he somehow looks normal.
5.) Fred- I don't see much difference. He still looks like he sells Meth out of a van.
6.) Robin- I don't get it. You lypo her neck but not her gunt.
I never noticed how far apart Hein's eyes are. what a creep.
1) I think they forgot to put the after picture in for Blobbin the gunt and just used the original pic twice.
2) Howard WILL HAVE ALL THAT WORK DONE! The bit was to prep his little audience.
3) G.P. Is that the alien from the movie Meatballs?
Jon Hein looks even creepier in his after photo.
Some lose all mind and become soul: insane. Some lose all soul and become mind: intellectual. Some lose both and become: accepted - Charles Bukowski
wow, some interesting stuff but the problem is computer generations are not reality. every man who has ever gotten cosmetic surgery looks like a surprised, elderly woman. it never looks good, it always looks hilarious.
in the first pic, howard looks good. in fact, he looks better than i've ever seen him, maybe the lighting, maybe because he isn't wearing those absurd glasses. he REALLY DOES have lovely eyes. the after pic is really, really bizarre. he looks like a 25yr ode....no lines, no more pointy chin, no lines. but notice how far the camera is from howard. everyone else had closeups!!!! i smell a rat and it's name is howard stern!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i can't believe i used to think fred was hot....he certainly hasn't aged well OR maybe he looks good with glasses. his face is very pale and bland, i think he needs glasses for definition.
btw, is that an old pic of robin???????????????

Boxing Day | |
Observed by | some members and former members of the Commonwealth of Nations |
Type | Bank holiday / Public holiday |
Date | 26 December |
Next time | 26 December 2013 |
Frequency | annual |
Related to | St. Stephen's Day, Day of Goodwill, and Second Day of Christmas/Second Christmas Day. |
Boxing Day is traditionally the day following Christmas Day, when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts from their bosses[1] or employers, known as a "Christmas box". Today, Boxing Day is better known as a bank or public holiday that occurs on 26 December, or the first or second weekday after Christmas Day, depending on national or regional laws. It is observed in Canada, United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and some other Commonwealth nations.
In South Africa, Boxing Day was renamed to Day of Goodwill in 1994. In Ireland, the day is known as St. Stephen's Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Stiofáin) or the Day of the Wren (Irish: Lá an Dreoilín). In many European countries, including notably Germany, Poland, Scandinavia and the Netherlands, 26 December is celebrated as the Second Christmas Day.[2]
In Canada, Boxing Day takes place on 26 December and is a federal public holiday.[3] In Ontario, Boxing Day is a statutory holiday where all full-time workers receive time off with pay.[4]
The exact etymology of the term "boxing day" is unclear. There are several competing theories, none of which is definitive.[5] The European tradition, which has long included giving money and other gifts to those who were needy and in service positions, has been dated to the Middle Ages, but the exact origin is unknown. It is believed to be in reference to the Alms Box placed in places of worship in order to collect donations to the poor. In ancient, pre-Christian Rome, Saturnalia was a Roman celebration during which slave owners would switch roles with their slaves. Gift giving was a part of Saturnalia and benevolence to slaves was a practice which may have influenced the later December tradition of boxing and presenting of gifts to people of lesser status.[citation needed] Also, it may come from a custom in the late Roman/early Christian era, wherein metal boxes placed outside churches were used to collect special offerings tied to the Feast of Saint Stephen,[6] which in the Western Church falls on the same day as Boxing Day.
In Britain, it was a custom for tradesmen to collect "Christmas boxes" of money or presents on the first weekday after Christmas as thanks for good service throughout the year.[7] This is mentioned in Samuel Pepys' diary entry for 19 December 1663.[8] This custom is linked to an older English tradition: Since they would have to wait on their masters on Christmas Day, the servants of the wealthy were allowed the next day to visit their families. The employers would give each servant a box to take home containing gifts and bonuses, and sometimes leftover food.
Boxing Day is a secular holiday that is traditionally celebrated on 26 December, the day after Christmas Day, which is also St. Stephen's Day, a religious holiday.[9][10][11] When 26 December falls on a Sunday, Boxing Day in many Commonwealth countries and former British dominions is moved to 27 December. In the UK, Boxing Day is a bank holiday. If Boxing Day falls on a Saturday, the following Monday is given as a substitute bank holiday. On the occasion when Christmas Day is on a Saturday – with Boxing Day on the Sunday – the following Monday (27) and Tuesday (28) of December both become bank holidays.
In Scotland, Boxing Day has been specified as an additional bank holiday since 1974,[12] by Royal Proclamation under the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971.[13]
In Ireland – when the island as a whole was part of the United Kingdom – the Bank Holidays Act 1871 established the feast day of St. Stephen as a non-movable public holiday on 26 December. Since the creation of the Republic of Ireland following partition in 1920, only Northern Ireland officially continues to use the British name 'Boxing Day'.
In the Australian state of South Australia, 28 December is a public holiday known as Proclamation Day and Boxing Day is not normally a public holiday. The holiday for Proclamation Day is observed on the first weekday after Christmas Day or the Christmas Day holiday.[14] Nowadays Boxing Day is popular in Australia as the first day of a Test cricket match held at the MCG. A Test match is also often held in South Africa starting on Boxing Day.
In New Zealand Boxing Day is a statutory holiday; penalty rates and lieu time are provided to employees who work on the day.
In some Canadian provinces, Boxing Day is a statutory holiday[15] that is always celebrated on 26 December. In Canadian provinces where Boxing Day is a statutory holiday, and it falls on a Saturday or Sunday, compensation days are given in the following week.[15]
In Britain,[16] Canada,[17] and some states of Australia,[18] Boxing Day is primarily known as a shopping holiday, much like the day after Thanksgiving in the United States. It is a time where shops have sales, often with dramatic price reductions. For many merchants, Boxing Day has become the day of the year with the greatest amount of returns. In the UK in 2009 it was estimated that up to 12 million shoppers appeared at the sales (a rise of almost 20% compared to 2008, although this was also affected by the fact that the VAT would revert to 17.5% from 1 January).[19]
Many retailers open very early (typically 5 am or even earlier) and offer doorbuster deals and loss leaders to draw people to their stores. It is not uncommon for long queues to form early in the morning of 26 December, hours before the opening of shops holding the big sales, especially at big-box consumer electronics retailers.[17] Many stores have a limited quantity of big draw or deeply discounted items.[20] Because of the shoulder-to-shoulder crowds, many choose to stay home and avoid the hectic shopping experience. The local media often cover the event, mentioning how early the shoppers began queueing up, providing video of shoppers queueing and later leaving with their purchased items.[21] Many retailers have implemented practices aimed at managing large numbers of shoppers. They may limit entrances, restrict the number of patrons in a store at a time, provide tickets to people at the head of the queue to guarantee them a hot ticket item or canvass queued-up shoppers to inform them of inventory limitations.[20]
In recent years, retailers have expanded deals to "Boxing Week." While Boxing Day is 26 December, many retailers will run the sales for several days before or after 26 December, often up to New Year's Eve. Notably, in the recession of late 2008, a record number of retailers were holding early promotions due to a weak economy.[22] Canada's Boxing Day has often been compared with the American Super Saturday, the Saturday before Christmas.
In some areas of Canada, particularly in Atlantic Canada and parts of Northern Ontario (including Sault Ste. Marie[23] and Sudbury), most retailers are prohibited from opening on Boxing Day, either by provincial law or municipal bylaw, or instead by informal agreement among major retailers in order to provide a day of relaxation following Christmas Day. In these areas, sales otherwise scheduled for 26 December are moved to the 27th.[24][25]
In Ireland, since 1902, most shops remain closed on St. Stephen's Day, as with Christmas Day. In 2009, some stores decided to open on this day, breaking a 107-year-old tradition. Some shops have also started their January sales on this day.
Cyber Boxing DayEdit
In 2009, many retailers with both online and High Street stores launched their online sales on Christmas Eve and their High Street sales on Boxing Day.[26][27]
In England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland it is traditional for the Premier League, Scottish Premier League and Irish Premier League respectively, as well as the lower divisions and rugby leagues, to hold a full programme of football and Rugby League matches on Boxing Day. Traditionally, matches on Boxing Day are played against local rivals. This was originally to avoid teams and their fans having to travel a long distance to an away game on the day after Christmas Day. It also makes the day an important one in the sporting calendar. In Australia and South Africa, much anticipated Test matches are played on Boxing Day.
In horse racing, there is the King George VI Chase at Kempton Park Racecourse in Surrey. It is the second most prestigious chase in England, after the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Boxing Day is one of the main days in the hunting calendar for hunts in the UK and US, with most hunts (both mounted foxhound or harrier packs and foot packs of beagles or bassets) holding meets, often in town or village centres.
Australia holds the first day of the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the start to the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race.
Several ice hockey contests are associated with the day. The IIHF World U20 Championship typically begins on 26 December, while the Spengler Cup also begins on 26 December in Davos, Switzerland; the Spengler Cup competition includes HC Davos, Team Canada, and other top European Hockey teams. The National Hockey League tends to have close to a full slate of games (11 were played in 2010), following the league-wide days off given for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
Although Boxing Day is not celebrated in the U.S., some American colleges usually play their last non-conference college basketball games, particularly crosstown or cross-regional rivalries on the 26th, while others participate in regular season tournaments on this day.
In some African Commonwealth nations, particularly Ghana, Uganda, Malawi, Zambia and Tanzania, prize fighting contests are held on Boxing Day. This practice has also been followed for decades in Guyana and Italy.[28]

Best Monochrome Printer of 2013
2 August 2013 by Permi Krishna
By definition, a monochrome printer is a printer that gives you prints of only one colour. A monochrome printer usually prints black while some other monochromes print text and graphics in grey-scale, as well as strictly in black–and–white.
Monochrome printers are employed for extensive and qualitative printing of texts. Monochrome lasers are more efficient than the inkjets in terms of their monthly duty cycles, except for printing photos. Laser monochrome printers offer an output of atleast 600 dpi for smoother gradients, cleaner graphics and sharper edges. A user could go for a higher resolution monochrome laser for printing photos.
Monochrome thermal printers are used in cash registers, ATMs, gasoline dispensers and some older inexpensive fax machines

hey guys, I'm doing a line of surf wear for my final year and was wondering if any GIRLS/WOMEN could answer a few questions for me, it would be truely helpful. cheers
1. How long have you been surfing for?
2. Do you feel that women's surf wear is broad enough or do you think there are other things that could be included, if so what are they?
3. What brands do you buy?
4. What brand would you buy if you could (that are maybe too expensive for you or rarely find)?
5. Do you think that today's surf wear brands are appropriate for older women who surf? Why? (Ok what I mean by this is not grannies who surf, but people who are like 30+, do you think that they should be wearing say roxy clothing? or if you're young do you think you might like a more sophisticated surf wear brand available to you when you get a bit older?)
(ok I know this next question is a bit silly if you live in a cold country but just on the odd chance that you've surfed in hotter climates I'll put it in anyway.)
6. Have you ever surfed in just a bikini? If so did you have any problems? (e.g. loose your bikini top)
7. what swimwear brands do you buy?
8. What Brands do you find have the most supporting swimwear for surfers (to keep boobs in place when you're surfing)?
9. From a scale of 1-10 (1 being the worst and 10 being the best) how would you rate the following to surf in. (this question is for people who surf in warmer climates and don't need a wetsuit.)
Swimsuit (standard)
Swimsuit (backless)
Triangle bikini
Halter top bikini
Tank top bikini
10.) Do sun tan lines bother you (eg, from rash tops or funny shaped swimwear)?
11.) Do you try to make an effort with your appearance or could you not care less?
12.) What do you wear after you finish surfing?
13.) In short how would you describe the surf lifestyle?
Cheers folks

Gotye (pronounced "go-ti-yay" or "Gauthier") is the alias of Australian electronic pop trickster Wally de Backer. Born in Belgium and raised in Melbourne, de Backer began making music in his bedroom as a teen, and for several years fronted the rock band Downstares. After the group dissolved, he gravitated toward cut-and-paste electronic music, and in 2003 issued the first Gotye album, Boardface. Like Drawing Blood followed two years later, notching the cult hit "Learnalilgivinanlovin" and earning J Award consideration from the influential Aussie radio station Triple J. De Backer concurrently served in the Melbourne pop trio the Basics. In 2011 Gotye released Making Mirrors, featuring a duet with vocalist Kimbra, "Somebody That I Used to Know." The song became a global hit in 2012, charting in Billboard's Hot 100 and Rock Songs charts. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

The RamanScopeIII is a high performance FT-Raman microscope designed for the microanalysis of samples in research and development.
The RamanScopeIII is an accessory to Bruker Optics' multi-range fully digital FT-Raman spectrometers and can be coupled to the RAM II FT-Raman module or the standalone MultiRAM FT-Raman spectrometer.
The RamanScopeIII provides the most efficient method to avoid unwanted fluorescence. When sample fluorescence is a problem, FT-Raman microanalysis with near infrared excitation (1064 nm) is frequently the only solution. As sample fluorescence can be orders of magnitude more intense than Raman scattering, the presence of fluorescence often precludes observation of Raman scattering. Excitation at 1064nm is low enough in excitation energy such that the occurrence of disturbing fluorescence is less probable.

Toldorf |
Gibbs was a man at war with boundaries.
He grabbed his bike, miscellaneous other road- trip-type things, and headed out on what he calls his "Exodus" tour.
The son of Dick and Boots Tolsdorf, who reside on the island, Gibbs started his journey on October 1 and has been blogging about his experiences. He started in New York City, then headed to Syracuse. Niagara Falls was his next stop, and he's currently in Toronto. From there he'll hit Detroit, heading west, and expects to be in Los Angeles in January.
"I'm on a journey to do whatever I feel like," he said. "I wasn't always this way. I started out well, but then I faltered."
It sounds like a familiar story to many of us. A few years ago, though, when Gibbs first felt the nagging sensation that all wasn't right in his world, he did what most of us don't have the courage to do. He put all of his random wish lists into a cohesive plan to "leave it all behind," and that is exactly what he did.
"I decided I would stage an Exodus and live my dream," he said. "I've created the blog so people can follow me, if they choose to do so. Somewhere along the way I want to inspire others to live their dream as well."
Gibbs was born in Wilmington, Del., a town he classifies as one that no one would be likely to put on their list of places to see in the United States.
He grew up in West Chester, Pa. and has fond memories of the place.
"It's beautiful, and was named after Cheshire, England, and for good reason," he said. "Both places have lots of horses and farms, and rolling hills. Although in Cheshire the streets are much narrower and they don't have Genesee Cream Ale, which is all I remember my dad drinking when I was a kid. That and big gallon jugs of Gallo red wine. I don't think they have that in England, either."
He grew up with a brother, Christopher, who is three years older than him.
"It took us 37 years to like each other, but once we did I felt a foot taller," he said.
He also has fond memories of his first dog, named Brixie. Brixie was a "Lassie-type" dog, according to Gibbs, and the experience of having that dog taught him a valuable life lesson.
"We went on vacation when I was young and left her with my grandfather," Gibbs explained. "She ran away during a thunderstorm and we searched incessantly for her after cutting the vacation short. It wasn't until I was 23 that my father slipped and I discovered that she was hit by a car. I vowed never to lie to my (still non-existent) children about that kind of thing. All that time I was sure that she had wandered onto a beautiful farm somewhere and spent the remainder of her days just running through sunflower fields, chasing horses, and pooping wherever she felt like it."
Gibbs is a bit of comedian who used to want to be a professional hockey player, but his father thought it might be best if he had a back-up plan. As he got older he realized that his father was right, and he decided to become a businessman. He attended school at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y.
"It is, in fact, a co-ed college," he said, referring to the famous college's "all-girl" reputation. "If it hadn't been, I would have been extremely lucky, but also extremely confused regarding the exception. I majored in philosophy in the hopes to never make money, but always continue to question."
He bought his father's company in 2003 and did his best to turn it around. He got lucky, though hard work did play a part in his triumph.
"I worked hard because I had to, after losing everything and more starting a company in New York City in 1999," he said. "I have a general manager who runs the business now, and he is fantastic because he has the genes for the role. Managing people is a unique skill that no business school will teach you, and he nails that bullseye on every throw."
He continued, "At the moment, I only work on making the most of every day. I don't have a 'job'. In fact, at a very young age I knew I didn't want a 'job'. I have only worked for a few people, and mostly they fired me or I quit when I felt like they were about to fire me. I'm best working for myself."
Gibbs said he believes that by starting out well and faltering, it helped him to do what he really wanted to do: To keep exploring, to keep moving, and to keep meeting new people.
"I had to get a job at some point, because this is the common way of feeding, clothing, and sheltering yourself," he said. "But I knew I couldn't do it forever, and I knew that the pull to move along would come calling … and it did.
Gibbs said that one of the most important things he has learned from traveling is to go the opposite direction of the crowd, and to open your heart, eyes, and hands.
Spontaneity is the name of the game with his blog. He has several videos from his trip so far, including several of him bicycling at various locations, and one that focuses on an argument with a Thule fairing on his tricked-out Audi S5.
The traveler, comedian and writer has listed some words of wisdom on his blog that few can ignore. Whether you agree with his idea to travel and complete his "bucket list," or feel he should be working every day as many of the rest of us do, there are things to be learned from everyone's philosophy. And Gibbs doesn't really seem to care whether his methodology is socially acceptable or not, which is refreshing in and of itself.
"Living the dream to me means getting my most basic priorities straight and adhering to them in all of my decisions, letting go of all of my fears, ignoring my inner skeptic and inspiring others to take steps towards living their own dream," he said. "What does living your dream mean to you? Are you doing it?"

*hugs Slippy*
I am all for drinking slippy
Let's go see Lincoln
"i hope you have fun"
My incredibly lovely day ended up in a BRUTAL screaming match with PP. I still can't believe the little fuck was brave enough to yell at me like that.
My tolerance was already shot, he knew he was in the wrong so was in "self defense" mode - refusing to back down. I'm still a little hoarse from screaming so loudly.
I hope this day gets fucked in it's ass.
Then, I threw him the fuck out of my house - and he took this piece of shit laptop, and it took me forever to hook back up after I let him stay ('cause the cops showed up as he was packing up his clothes)- so I quietly called him more bad words as I figured it out.
AND - I have the personal business card of one of the handsome officers.
What a terrible day, sorry Slips.
is pretty cool
I've never found you funny, and always knew you were an utter asshole. Thank you for solidifying my beliefs.

After months of political games, tricks, advertising and commentary, voters went to the polls Nov. 6 to choose local and national candidates.
In Harris County, once massively dominated by Republicans, President Barack Obama eked out a win, carrying a few local Democrats with him, including Sheriff Adrian Garcia.
Garcia won re-election over former Harris County deputy Louis Guthrie by a 53 percent to 45 percent margin, despite Guthrie receiving the endorsement of the Harris County Deputies Organization.
Another close race was one for the Harris County District Attorney's Office. Republican mike Anderson defeated Democrat Lloyd Oliver, despite the Democratic Party's attempts to remove Oliver from the ballot.
Democrat County Attorney Vince Ryan also won re-election by a slim margin, grabbing 51 percent of the vote over Republican Robert Talton. He was helped by a large democratic turnout on Election Day.
In races with national implications, Republican Ted Cruz narrowly won Harris County over Democrat Paul Sadler, by one-a-half percent.
Republican Kevin Brady easily won re-election to his U.S. House of Representatives seat, defeating Neil Burns. Brady attributed his win to his ability to not become one of the Washington establishment.
"Because I've never moved to Washington, voters know I never forget who I work for," Brady said. "Representing our communities in Congress is a privilege and I'm very thankful to my constituents for sending me back to work for them. I'll continue to fight for a stronger economy, lower taxes, balanced budget, secure border and greater freedom from the growing threat of big government."
Brady said he will try and convince colleagues in the House to tackle tough issues in the next session.
"America is standing at a precarious point," he said. "The President and Congress simply can't keep ducking the tough issues. We need to act now – right now – to tackle America's dangerous debt crisis, reform our oppressive tax code and find real solutions to preserve Social Security and Medicare for every generation without raising taxes. The U.S. House has already approved good ideas and sound solutions. All we need are a Senate and a President with the political will to work with us to get the job done – now."
Congressman Michael McCaul also won re-election. McCaul said that the election results amount to a message that his party will have to work together with President Obama for the good of the nation, but without compromising on their basic principles.
McCaul recently told reporters that immigration reform could be possible in the next session, if lawmakers and the President can come together on issues they agree on.
Montgomery County races were mainly uncontested in the Republican stronghold, as were State Representative races in the Tomball area.
The Tomball Republican Women's Club will host Commissioner Jerry Patterson Sept. 26, at 7 p.m., at the Lone Star College-Tomball Library in Room L-129, 30555 Tomball Parkway. All of the Candidates for Lieutenant Governor have been invited to speak and may be present at the meeting. There is no charge to attend.
Patterson currently serves as the 27th Commissioner of the General Land Office, the oldest elected position in Texas history, which was established immediately after the Texas Revolution in 1836.
Patterson graduated from Texas A&M University in 1969 and was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. After volunteering for duty in Vietnam, Patterson was later designated as a Naval Flight Officer and served in Marine fighter squadrons until his retirement from the Marine Corps Reserve as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1993. Five consecutive generations of Patterson's family have served our nation in times of war.
From 1993 through 1999, Patterson served as state senator for District 11, which includes Harris, Galveston, and Brazoria counties. In November 2002, Patterson was elected to be the 27th Texas Land Commissioner. He was re-elected to a third term in 2010.

2013 Update 2012 Update 2011 Summary 2010 Summary 2008 Summary Study Details
The southern migration of Ohio's sandhill cranes started on November 13 when 117257 flew from LaSuAn Wildlife Area to Kentucky and then continued its journey south the next day and stopped at the Hiawassee Wildlife Refuge near Chattanooga, TN. It has remained there since. Crane 119996 flew from Ohio to southern Michigan on September 16 and is still there. The other three radio-marked cranes are near Killbuck Marsh and Funk Bottoms Wildlife Areas. The maps will be updated as frequently as the cranes move.
As of March 23, all of the cranes are back in Ohio and most of them are in their respective breeding areas. Crane 117252 is still prospecting for a breeding or summering area as it flew from Wayne County to Coshocton County on April 1 (no fooling). This is the last map for the spring 2013 season.
The northern crane migration has just about come to an end. Crane 117257 arrived at its breeding ground in northwest Ohio on March 4 and crane 95413 came closer to Ohio as it flew to Marion, IN on March 9th. Crane 117252 which wintered at Funk Bottoms Wildlife Area south of Wooster, Ohio moved north on March 7 to southern Medina County.
Crane 95413 headed into Indiana on February 23 and is currently near the town of Linton. All of the other cranes remained at their previous locations.
Crane 117256 arrived in Ohio on February 22nd while Crane 117257 arrived in Indiana on February 19th. Crane 95413 still remains in Kentucky although it will probably back in Ohio by March 1.
Three cranes were on the move north this week. Both 117256 and 117257 left Florida on February 11. Crane 117256 stopped in Georgia while crane 117257 continued on to Hiawassee Refuge near Chattanooga, TN and arrived there on February 14. Crane 117253 resumed its northern trek after a 20 day rest in Indiana and arrived at Funk Bottoms Wildlife Area on February 12.
Even though the temps are still in the teens and twenties in Ohio, at least one crane (117253) is heading back north. It started north on January 18 after spending a month at Hiawassee Refuge near Chattanooga, TN. All other cranes remain in the same location as they were on January 15.
All of the cranes except for 119996 remained in their same locations for the second straight week. On January 10th, 119996 flew about 30 miles to the east and is currently near the city of Hillsboro.
All of the cranes have remained in the same locations as the previous week.
Crane 95413 started south on December 28 and is currently about 40 miles south of Louisville. Crane 119996 left the Lake Erie marshes on New Year's Day is near Mason, Ohio. We have not received a signal from 108162 for over a month due to transmitter issues, so it was removed from the map.
Crane 117253 flew from Kentucky to Hiawassee Refuge near Chattanooga, TN on December 19 and is still there. None of the other cranes have moved since last week.
On December 12, crane 117257 continued its southern migration after spending a little more than 2 weeks at Hiawassee Refuge. It arrived in Florida on December 13. Crane 117253 moved about 50 miles north on December 17 as it remains in Kentucky.
Three of Ohio's cranes have now started their southward trek. Crane 117257 is still near Chattanooga, TN while crane 117256 moved a bit east on December 4 and is about 40 miles southwest of Jacksonville. Crane 117253 started south on December 5 and has been in Kentucky since the 6th.
Cranes 117256 and 117256 have continued their migration south. Crane 117256 is just northwest of Orlando after flying nearly 950 miles in 7 days while crane 117257 has been at Hiawasse Wildlife Refuge near Chattanooga, TN since November 27. The other nine cranes have not yet ventured south.
Two of the eleven radio-marked sandhill cranes have started their southward migration. 117256 and 117257 both left on Tuesday, November 27 and have flown around 200 miles south to southern Indiana. The mild weather during the rest of the week may delay the other birds' start, but they all should be on their way south in the next couple of weeks.
The Division of Wildlife currently has 11 cranes marked with satellite transmitters. Two of the cranes (95413 and 97640) were marked in 2010, four of the cranes (108161, 108162, 95412, and 97643) were marked in 2011, and the rest (117252, 117253, 117256, 117257, and 119996) were caught and marked in 2012. Two of the cranes captured near Killbuck and Funk Bottoms Wildlife Areas migrated north on October 13 where they are still located. These side trips are uncommon, but we have seen similar trips in 2010 and 2011 when 97640 flew to Indiana/Michigan prior to migration. New maps will be posted as the cranes start to move south this fall.
Two birds captured in summer 2010 still had operating satellite transmitters, and Division biologists marked 7 more cranes (6 adults and 1 juvenile) with satellite transmitters. The cranes were captured by using a net propulsion device called a NetLauncher, which throws a 20' x 30' net over the cranes as they feed at a bait pile. In addition, biologists also used a netgun shot from a helicopter to catch the birds on the ground (see photos below). The cranes were removed from the net, fitted with transmitters, banded, and released within 5 minutes so that they were not over-stressed. The extremely mild winter caused the birds to alter their migration routes. Only four cranes migrated to Florida with the rest either migrating part of the way or not leaving the state at all. All of the cranes had finished their southern migration by January 23, 2012. Some birds started their northern movement on January 25 and all were back in Ohio by March 8, 2012.
Numbers of breeding sandhill cranes have been slowly increasing over the last decade from about 2 pairs in 2000 to over 20 in 2010. In addition, there is a large nonbreeding flock at the Funk Bottoms Wildlife Area southwest of Wooster with over 20 birds. The increase of sandhill cranes is not only occurring in Ohio, but throughout the Great Lakes region including Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ontario, Canada. A primary concern for wildlife managers in the eastern U.S. has been to improve methods of counting the number of sandhill cranes in this Eastern Population. Attaching satellite transmitters to cranes will improve our understanding of migration ecology and enable managers to target the timing and locations of migrating sandhills so that a reliable count of the birds can be made. To that end, the Ohio Division of Wildlife has attached 5 transmitters to adult sandhill cranes in Ohio (see the table below). Our study is being conducted simultaneously with projects in Ontario by Bird Studies Canada, and in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Indiana, and Tennessee by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. The cranes were captured in July and August 2010 by using a net propulsion device called a NetLauncher. The device threw a 20' x 30' net over the cranes as they were feeding at a bait pile (see photo below). Captured cranes were quickly taken out of the net, blood was drawn from an adult, and a transmitter was placed on at least 1 adult at each location. Three juveniles were also instrumented, 1 in Geauga County and 1 at Grand River Wildlife Area in Trumbull County (see photo below). Cranes were released as quickly as possible to reduce stress on the birds.

More specific FALL 2010 migration details: A single crane captured and instrumented in Geauga County began migrating over the weekend of November 27-28, 2010. On November 30th it was in Georgia and over the December 4-5 weekend it continued south to the state of Florida, 20 miles south of Disneyworld. The crane family group that was originally in Geauga County moved southwest to Wayne County in the Funk Bottoms area in mid-November. On December 6 they arrived in Kentucky, and on December 8 they had moved to the Hiawassee Wildlife Refuge in Tennessee. One day later, December 9, they were located in central Georgia, then on December 13 they were near Tallahassee, Florida. They arrived at their wintering area near Orlando (25 miles west of Disneyworld) on December 15. This is the same location that a crane tracked in 2007 over-wintered. Unfortunately we have lost contact with the transmitter in this group; the crane may have been killed by a predator. The crane family unit from Metzger Marsh Wildlife Area had moved to southern Ohio near Chillicothe in early December. On December 9 they arrived in southern Georgia after a 2-day flight. The family unit at Grand River Wildlife Area was in Columbiana County on December 9. On December 13 they had moved further south to Kentucky, and on December 15 they were at Hiawassee Wildlife Refuge in Tennessee. Unfortunately, transmitters on the Killbuck Marsh pair failed and we were not able to follow their migration path.
The first of 2 sandhill crane eggs hatched on May 6, 2008. Unfortunately, the second egg in the clutch did not hatch. The colt (a young crane is called a "colt") and the 2 adults moved away from the nest in early June. They stayed in the area around Aquilla and Chardon, Ohio, all summer (see the 2nd aerial photo below). The battery on the female's transmitter was only expected to function for 9 months and should have expired in May 2008. Since August 20, 2008, only 2 transmissions were received from the transmitter (see top aerial photo below). Both locations were only accurate to >1 km; they were the last locations we received for the female crane. There are no plans to replace her transmitter in the near future.
Photos: the top photo below is the colt and one adult walking through a corn field taken in July. The colt is the bird with no red on his head. The next several photos show the colt and adults when it was a small hatchling - thanks to Tami Gingrich of Geauga Park District. One photo shows the female crane on the nest during incubation. The last crane photo below was from early spring 2008 when Jason Huckeba got a beautiful picture of the female and male cranes feeding together. Notice the location of the transmitter on the female's right upper leg.
A summary of the crane's migration north in spring 2008: the female crane departed her wintering location near Orlando, Florida sometime after February 23 and arrived in Georgia near the city of Person on February 28; a distance of 200 miles. On March 4, the crane was 50 miles south of Indianapolis, a journey of about 800 miles. She stayed in the same general location in Indiana for about a week before continuing on to Ohio. She flew her last 300 miles back to Chardon the week of March 21, 2008. Other cranes had already arrived in Geauga County on March 10. See additional information about the study at the bottom of this page.
Greater sandhill cranes (Grus canadensis tabida) are listed as a state endangered species in Ohio. Observations of breeding pairs and confirmed sightings of nests or young (colts) indicate breeding by sandhill cranes in Ohio since 1985. Growth of the breeding population has been slow, primarily centered in the Killbuck/Funk Bottoms region, Geauga, Ashtabula, Lorain, Trumbull, and Williams counties, and at Killdeer Plains Wildlife Area.
The 2006-2009 nesting seasons produced the highest number of sandhill crane nests and colts since the mid-1800s. At least 23 crane pairs were observed in 2008 with 19 young cranes fledged. The number of nesting pairs declined to 19 in 2009 but 23 young were fledged. Although small numbers of sandhill cranes have consistently nested within the state in recent years, there is little knowledge of what population or habitat factors currently limit growth of the Ohio breeding population. In addition, Ohio biologists want to learn where cranes produced in Ohio go during migration, what route they take, when migration occurs, and how long it lasts.
Three cranes were instrumented with limited-range VHF transmitters in fall 2003. One of the 3 cranes was located at Hiawassee Wildlife Refuge near Chattanooga, Tennessee for about a week. Contact with the bird was lost and biologists don't know if it stayed in Tennessee or moved further south to Mississippi or Florida. Every year over 10,000 sandhill cranes over-winter at Hiawassee Wildlife Refuge.
In early September 2007, a satellite transmitter was placed on an adult sandhill crane that had nested near Chardon, Ohio (Geauga County) for the last 3-5 years. The transmitter was attached to the crane's leg after being captured in a field where it came to feed every day. A juvenile crane was also instrumented with a VHF transmitter but it failed shortly after being put on. Juveniles will stay with their parents until they are about 10 months old – about the time of the next year's breeding season.
See photos above of the crane being fitted with a transmitter and being released, as well as a map of the bird's locations during its migration north to Chardon in spring 2008 and its summer locations in 2008. Photos also include the pair's colt, that hatched in May 2008 (see text above).

Perfect NYE dress
I searched all Black Friday for the perfect NYE in NY dress and this is it. The sequins are not overwhelming or gaudy looking, and I love the fit. It's fitted without being skin-tight, so I don't have to stress about it. The top elastic band was a little big on me... might have been able to go down a size.. but I liked having a little extra room.

And on its bottom hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, purple, and crimson wool, on its bottom hem all around, and golden bells in their midst all around A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, on the bottom hem of the robe, all around
Why the bells and [not whistles – but cloth] pomegranates? For now, we deal with the bells. The text elucidates - with a consequence
It shall be on Aaron when he performs the service, and its (his?) sound ונשמע קולו shall be heard when he enters the Holy before the Lord and when he leaves, so that he will not die.
First note that the text is ambiguous: Whose sound can be heard - the kohein gadol's voice or the sound of those bells? More significantly, as we try to probe the Divine mind, what is the tachlis – the purpose of these bells?[1]
On our 2nd question, herein five fascinating approaches[2]:
1. Rabbeinu Bechayei #1 - Dressed to the halachic T [3]
Aharon's voice - for when he enters the kodesh with those 8 garments in the appropriate manner, his voice shall be heard and his prayer accepted
Aharon's voice can certainly always be heard – but nishma in the sense of acceptance [think na'aseh v'nishma] A pre-requisite for the Kohen Gadol's prayer to be heard and accepted is the donning of his proper priestly garb. [On this approach, Ramban and others question why the Torah hinges the prayer acceptance davka on the bells?]
2. Rabbeinu Bechaye #2 – A lesson in Divine etiquette
The sound of the bells must be heard before Aharon enters, for this is appropriate conduct… the Torah is thus teaching that that one who enters before the King must knock at the entrance … and not enter suddenly. The kingdom of heaven is like the earthly kingdom
One does not barge in on the king or The King. A beautiful idea, with a fascinating Purim connection:
.. just as it says regarding Achasveirosh – that the one that was not called and arrive suddenly shall be killed [Esther, 4:
Sans the mishkan/mikdash two vestiges of this halacha still remain
a. The mah tovu that announces our presence before we walk into the synagogue
b. the minhag to knock on the door of any room before entering [4]
3. To those resonant bells, Chizkuni adds two more notions [#1]: - Focus Time
… so that the people would know the time when the avodah [Temple service] was being done and would focus their kavanah to their Father in heaven
The ringing bells were an alarm clock to the har habayit [Temple Mount] community – a reminder that the avodah is in session. And since the kohen gadol was their representative and a messenger can not be better than the community it represents, they ought to pray at the same time of his avodah [5]
4. Chizkuni # 2 – A Distinguished Look
... so that he shall be recognized and distinguished to be holy of holies from the other kohanim that were working in the mishkan
The kohein gadol was a part and apart. He was from his brethren and yet gadol me'eichav ; he could not be just be one of the guys. Thus the halacha requires that the poor kohen gadol be made wealthy. He also needed to look different. His chiming presence was a constant reminder to those around him of that difference. A Sepharadi vestige may be found in those multi-colored turbans and royal robes of their Chief Rabbi. Even in the more boring Ashkenazi world , Rabbinical garb was always a reality.
5. A fifth sublime approach is added by HaKesav Vekabalah – The Inner Alarm
the mitzvah of the bells is like that of tzitzis; there the mitzvah is to remind one of the Mitzvos through the sense of vision [and you shall see them] and here it is to remember through the sense of hearing – for commensurate to the kohen gadol's exalted level and his obligation in many more mitzvos than the rest of the [kohanim and the Jewish] people, there was added an additional [sensory] reminder … through his hearing … the bells he will awaken his mind and heart to consider before Whom he is wearing these special garments … and when he leaves … the sound of those bells will remind him that he is the chosen of the nation … and he will not forget that he is constantly standing before Hashem, nor should he lose focus from his holiness for but a moment
The bells are not for the others; they serve as an inner alarm, an auditory reminder to the Kohen Gadol that he must be utterly reflective of before whom He stands at all times; his outer resplendent glory dare not be clothing-deep. And even when he leaves the mikdash, the mikdash dare not leave him!
For each of these five beautiful notions, one significant detail need be worked out; that same kohein gadol, on the holiest day, the year , wore only white [without the me'il and bells] as he forayed four times into the holiest of places [the holy of holies] !!!
If we work with Rabbeinu Bechayei 1, Chizkuni 1 & 2 and HaKesav Vekabalah, it all works out. Consider:
a. Dressed to the Halachic T: – Since the requirement was only 4 garments, then the he certainly fulfilled it
b. Distinguished Look : - On Yom Kippur, the Kohen Gadol was the only one doing the avodah: thus he stood out שהרי כל עבודות אינן כשרות אלא בו.
c. Focus Time – On Yom Kippur, the crowd [hopefully] need not be told to focus
d. The inner Alarm – On Yom Kippur, the Kohen Gadol is highly reflective and highly aware anyway.
One approach still confounds; that of Rabbeinu Bechayei's etiquette. Is Yom Kippur a time to drop formality? With a remarkably disarming comment, Rabbeinu Bechayei.illuminates:
And the sign of his entering was for all year round in the holy – but in the holy og holies it did not need a sounding of the voice … and this is the greatness of the Jewish people that the kohein gadol would enter deep within on Yom Kippur without a sign and without permission
A child in desperation does not need to knock on his parent's door – nor does a spouse who simply needs to talk have to make an appointment. Intimacy allows one to forego formalities. Yom Kippur is the day of shidduchim [cf. end of taanis] and the day of the great rekindling of the romance between Hashem and his kallah, Bnei Yisrael.
And Purim? .... Famously, the Arizal said, it is of the same rarefied nature as Yom Kippur, only a notch higher . In contrast to Yom Kippur where we become white, angelic and then dare to approach the Holy of Holies [without knocking], on Purim, we seek intimacy with Hashem without leaving our world; He comes to us and we find him within the cloak of nature.
Then even before we knock – He will be there.
1. One may also question why the Torah places its stiff death-consequence here - given that whenever one enters the mishkan/mikdash and does avodah, he must wear the requisite clothing. Cf. Rashi, Ramban here for a basic approach.
2. Cf also Rashbam and Rabbeini Behayei for yet another two approaches to this issue.
3. For the correct phrase of dressed to a tea, tee or t – cf. this source http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20060722162904AAhrETy
4. Cf. Pesachim 112a and Rashi who quotes Vayikra Rabah 21 that R. Yochanan would also wave or knock before entering his own home
5. In a certain sense, this represents a mini concept of the ma'amados
6.. וסימן הקריאה ונטילת רשות זה היה בכל ימות השנה, וזהו שאמר ונשמע קולו בבאו אל הקדש ולא לפני ולפנים מפני שלפני ולפנים לא היה צריך השמעת קול ולא היה נכנס שם בבגדי זהב אלא בבגדי לבן בלבד, וזו היא מעלתם של ישראל שהכהן הגדול היה נכנס לפני ולפנים ביום הכפורים בלא סימן הקריאה ובלא נטילת רשות

Coalition for Fiscal and National Security (right-click to copy direct link)
Washington, DC Tuesday, December 4, 2012
The Coalition for Fiscal and National Security discuss U.S. debt and national security on Tuesday.
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Michael Mullen, along with former Senators and Chairmen of the Armed Services Committee Sam Nunn and John Warner, announce their core principles for fiscal and defense policies, which include a framework for averting the so-called "fiscal cliff" and goals for long-term deficit reduction.
They also call for a comprehensive review of U.S. national security policy and argue that technological advances and the changing nature of threats make it possible "to spend less on a more intelligent, efficient and contemporary defense strategy that maintains U.S. military superiority and national security."
Notable speakers include: former Defense Secretaries Robert Gates and Harold Brown; former Secretary of State George Shultz; former Treasury Secretary James Baker; and former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker.
