Feb. 1, 1999 ITHACA, N.Y. -- After the warmest year on record, how are our beloved birds faring? Bird enthusiasts of all ages and backgrounds are being urged to help researchers find out by participating in the second Annual Great Backyard Bird Count, Feb. 19-22.
A project of Cornell University's Laboratory of Ornithology and the
National Audubon Society, the Great Backyard Bird Count asks everyone --
kids, adults, seniors, families, classrooms and community groups -- to
count the birds they see at their backyard bird feeders, local parks and
other areas. Reports are entered online at BirdSource
"Bird-watching is the fastest-growing outdoor recreation in the country, enjoyed by millions every year," says Frank Gill, senior vice president for science at National Audubon. "Combined with the cutting-edge Internet technology of BirdSource, this observation power will allow us to immediately begin assessing 1999's distribution and abundance of North American birds, the week before spring migrations begin."
The count follows last year's first-ever tally of its kind, the Great '98 Backyard Bird Count, during which over 14,000 people tallied more than half a million birds. Findings will be especially important, ornithologists say, in this post-El Niño year. Last year, this weather phenomenon dumped unprecedented amounts of rain on the West Coast, induced a hot, dry summer in the Southeast and may have been responsible for devastating ice storms in the Northeast.
"We know this meant hard times for many people," says Gill. "Now we need to know what effect, if any, El Niño had on the birds."
To do this, Cornell and Audubon are counting on the estimated 60 million people who feed or watch birds. "We need them to help us by spending as little as 15 minutes -- on any or all of the days -- counting the numbers and kinds of birds they see during their morning coffee break, while driving to work, taking a stroll or while purposefully out bird-watching," continues Gill. Participants tally the highest number of each species seen at one time (so as not to count the same birds more than once). When logging onto BirdSource to report their observations, participants click on their state or province and receive a checklist of the most frequently reported birds in their region. Within hours, they will be able to see how their reports combine with others across the continent to create a kind of "snapshot" of North American birds.
"The Internet has become an important tool for conservation because it can gather, analyze and distribute vast amounts of information quickly, and the number of people online is increasing substantially every year," says John Fitzpatrick, director of the Cornell lab. "Some reports show that 75 percent of American households now own PCs and that 65 percent of these have Internet access. The number of online computer users worldwide has doubled to 140 million in the last 18 months."
Prospective bird counters don't have to be online to participate in the second Annual Great Backyard Bird Count. One count sponsor, Wild Birds Unlimited, a bird-feeding and nature retail business with more than 250 locations across North America, will enter reports at many of their stores for people who are not online. (To find out how to get information to them, call toll-free
(1-800-326-4WBU). "We're especially excited about this," says Fitzpatrick. "It means we'll have that many more eyes out there scanning the North American landscape and counting for the birds. We want every U.S. ZIP code and Canadian postal code to be represented on this year's maps."
Wild Birds Unlimited and another exclusive Great Backyard Bird Count sponsor, the Ford Motor Co., also provided support this year for the development of new beginner-level materials for the web site. The Great Backyard Bird Count is a perfect family or youth group activity, and last year many classrooms logged on for the count, according to the Cornell lab director.
This year, to encourage even more schools and families, the site features a vocabulary list to help them learn words commonly associated with birds and their environments. There's also a bibliography suggesting reference books, field guides and even novels that might be of interest to educators, students and beginning birders. There are tips on how and what to feed birds and steps everyone can take to make sure they're ready for the big event. Site visitors will be able to view colorful bird images, hear examples of their vocalizations and look at trend data from last year's count and other citizen-science projects, such as Project FeederWatch and Christmas Bird Counts.
"We're excited to see how this year's data compare to what we accumulated last year," says Fitzpatrick. "Each year of the count is important and serves as a vital component in establishing a picture of North American birds' long-term population trends. The more information we have, the better we'll be able to ensure our common birds will remain common and take measures to protect species already in decline. That's why it's so important to get as many people as possible to tell us what they're seeing."
To participate, simply go to the BirdSource web site at http://birdsource.cornell.edu and click on the Great Backyard Bird Count button. Directions and other information are provided at the site. Participation is free and no registration is necessary. All the necessary information is available at the web site. For further information, call toll-free (1-800-843-BIRD (2473).

Bible Teaching
Christianity is not about religion but an ongoing relationship with Jesus Christ. At Ebe, we want to invest in people to support, encourage and equip them in their life journey.
Our teaching programme seeks to cover all the main areas of the Bible in a rolling programme, which includes linking with the Evening Celebrations at Woodlands Church, in Clifton. We seek to teach from the Bible and see how God's Word applies to our lives today.
To listen to sermons or subscribe to the sermon podcast, then visit the sermon page here.
Going Deeper
At Ebe, we provide a monthly 'Going Deeper' session for those who wish to go a lot deeper in their understanding of the Bible and grapple with more theological issues.
This will involve a light meal, followed by a talk and then opportunity for discussion. The meal will be at the church building on Filton Avenue, from 12.30pm. It will be finished by 3.00pm. If you want to bring your children, then please let us know in advance and we can provide helpers to supervise the children, in the back hall, during the talk and discussion time.
If you intend to come to a session, then please contact the church office, by the Thursday before the session, so we know how many people to cater for.

Your accusation is unfair, to say the least. Name the churches you're criticizing. When churches reach out there are those that are quick to criticize that churches are jamming religion down people's throats. Temple Baptist Church in Powell has a tremendous outreach program in Knox and the surrounding area. Have you ever checked them out? Do you attend church? What is your personal outreach or contribution to the community?
I do not attend church. I do not feel welcome. I am under the impression it has something to do with my clothing.
I provide professional services to members of the community who would otherwise either be unable to afford the services or are unable to wait for other organizations to provide similar services. On occasion, I will "front" the fees and charges imposed by others.
What I do not do is require that the person to whom I provide the services promise to attend church in exchange for the service.
It's just simpler that way, don't you agree? No accusations. No criticism.

Yesterday morning I took Buckeye out to Maumee Bay State Park for a walk on the beach.
I don't know if you can call it a beach though. Lake Erie is dirty.. like disgusting. There were two dead fish hanging out on shore. Sick.
Buckeye and I stayed away from that and continued our walk.
When we got into the car he was so hot and panting like crazy. I think he had a great time.

Advances in predicting acute GVHD. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 23205489 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher |
Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a leading cause of non-relapse mortality following allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation. Attempts to improve treatment response in clinically-established GVHD have not improved overall survival, often due to the increased risk of infectious complications. Alternative approaches to decrease GVHD-related morbidity and mortality have focused on the ability to predict GVHD prior to clinical manifestation in an effort to provide an opportunity to abort GVHD development, and to gain new insights into GVHD pathophysiology. This review outlines the research efforts to date that have identified clinical and laboratory-based factors that are predictive of acute GVHD and describes future directions in developing algorithms that will improve the ability to predict the development of clinically relevant GVHD. |

But what about when the tides are turned, when penguins get a chance to meet the strange humans, observing them for the first time?
That moment was captured on camera by a man traveling to penguins' home habitat, Antarctica.
"I was on a tour with friends in Antarctica when we visited a penguin colony," the visitor, Joel Oleson, explained. "Our guide told us not to approach the penguins, but that it was okay for them to approach us."
"I laid down to seem non- threatening, and the baby penguin approached me," said Oleson, a self-described "travel junkie" who has traveled to over 100 countries since 2008 and blogs about his adventures at Travelingepic.com. Watch the video to see what happened next.

This morning's spike in shares of Westport Innovations (WPRT +7.6%) on takeover speculation...
This morning's spike in shares of Westport Innovations (WPRT +7.6%) on takeover speculation gains momentum into the close. Chatter centers around potential interest from Cummins (CMI +0.3%), already involved in a JV that accounts for much of WPRT's medium-term profits.

If you want at least one source of the rumor, take a look at this page:
To get the message, you must subscribe to "theflyonthewall", but you can get a 30 day free trial.
Be careful of the "pump and dump"! -
Westport will have to be sold because it simply does not have the critical mass financially to grow. Cummins is the likely acquirer but it won't overpay because Westport is already overly dependent on them. Just as likely, Westport will issue stock to get by and current shareholders will suffer substantial dilution.
To Rooter28, Stanmar, & others,
You folks are living in a dream world. If you follow the WPRT thread on Yahoo Finance, you will find this comment:
"According to JPMorgan, Westport Innovations shares rallied on Friday resulting from a report that Cummins (NYSE:CMI) is considering an acquisition of the company at $42 per share. The firm believes that the potential deal is highly unlikely and adds that the $42 per share price makes little sense."
Say "highly unlikely" and "makes little sense." Think JPMorgan knows what they are talking about? Not a rumor but a realistic assessment. -
I doubt if there is any such "rumour" as such. A takeover by CMI
would be very logical. Look at it realistically, if the NG dream comes
true, do you really think all the big boys out there will let WPRT eat their lunch? of course not. At present, CMI is the most logical buyer,
but this could change if NG started to catch on in the automobile sector.
For me, WPRT getting taken out, is not a question of if but when. -
The Westport-Cummins partnership is introducing the first CNG/LNG engines capable of class 8 linehaul applications. This is also without any form of aftertreatment system necessary. This will revolutionize the trucking business which affects all of us as consumers at the bottom line price of any product we buy. It is predicted that by year 2017 35- percent of class 8 tractors will run natural gas. These type of numbers are not to be taken lightly. That is a huge change in a very short time frame and Westport Innovations is at the forefront of this technology. Whoever owns them will be poised to take the profits.

Neuraminidase enzymes are glycoside hydrolase enzymes that catalyze hydrolysis of terminal sialic acid residues. The most well-known are the viral nearamidases, which promote influenza virus release. 3
Purified by affinity chromatography from Type VIII (N 5631)
One unit will liberate 1.0 μmole of N-acetylneuraminic acid per min at pH 5.0 at 37 °C using NAN-lactose or bovine submaxillary mucin unless otherwise specified.
Neuraminidase from Clostridium perfringens has been used in a study to assess purification via affinity chromatography. 1 It has also been used in a study to investigate site-directed mutations of amino acids of the neuraminidase gene, nanH. 2
Hydrolyzes α(2→3), α(2→6), and α(2→8)-glycosidic linkages of terminal sialic residues of various glycomolecules.
Neuraminidase can block attachment of type 3 reovirus to cell membranes. This effect is related to the ability of neuraminidase to hydrolysis sialic acid residues within cell surface receptors.

Harmon Kardon Drive + Play
I got this from Stootsi last week for like 20-ish dollars. Brand new.
I put everything together and hooked it up to the tape deck before I decide to install it all internally. Unfortunately I ran into snags. I'm not sure if it's even iPhone compatible, but a quick Google search showed it working and even a YouTube video. For me, it did work. First time swell. Second time... Not so well. I unplugged everything, reattached everything, restarted the iPhone, etc. I keep getting the iPod disconnected message on the screen. On my iPhone, when I switch to iPod, it blinks between the Accessory connected screen and my playlist... Were these two not meant to be together? I'm wondering if I broke the iPod cable from unplugging it... My 1G iPod nano (which isn't listed as compatible either) was not getting any results either. I'm going to test my sister's iPod 5.5G once I get my hands on it. |

Cable's probably hosed. I had to replace mine (free of charge courtesy of Crutchfield). It's a common problem apparently.

was this the drive + play 2, or the original?
i've been wanting to get one of these, but the new one is way too expensive

Thank you for the reply!
I suspected it was the cable because the iPhone was at least sort of working with the flashing accessory screen. I tried my sister's iPod this afternoon and no progress. As common as the cable problem might be, I haven't found a single thing about it online. I e-mailed Harmon Kardon for hopefully a replacement cable. Any suggestions on where I could get a replacement cable if they can't give me one? I don't know of any Crutchfield's around my area. gadabout, this is the original version. Obviously 2 is a very expensive piece of hardware, but certainly looks nice. |

Crutchfield came through for me because I bought the thing from them. Unfortunately, unless the merchant you got it from is as good, you'll have to deal with Harmon Kardon, who I hear isn't terribly responsive.

I would have liked to have got it replaced through Stootsi, but they don't do returns on new items. They want you to get products replaced through the manufacturer.
I sent an e-mail to Harmon Kardon through their Drive and Play site to no avail. I just sent another one through their main site's Contact Us page. Hopefully they can sell me the cable for a reasonable price. Thanks again for replying! |

Welcome to
My father, Henry Klein, was born in Germany in upper Bavaria on June 11, 1834. At 19 years of age he and his two sisters come across to America and landed in Baltimore. There he learned the shoe trade. He married Mary Ursala Bischoff and started his own business-a shoe store, making all the shoes by hand.
Mary Ursala Bischoff, my mother, was born in Germany. Her father was killed under a load of wood. The her mother with two girls and boy set out for America. The mother became sick on the boat and died and so was thrown overboard to be burried in the ocean. The one of those two girls, my mother, also became sick along with other people for which reason she was kept from landing. She was 16 years old then. When she finally did come across she and her sister had to go our working for some Jewish folks. Then their brother- the boy who was Uncle Bischoff- got them some work. During this time she met my father and married.
The marriage turned out to be a happy one that lasted many years after the celebration of the 60th wedding anniversary. Father died at the age 89 and mother at the age of 96. They had 8 children, four girls and four boys. James the oldest died at the age of 21, and Katie at the age of 18, both of consumpition. Andrew died at the age of 2 from diptheria. The other children were Joe, Mayme, Johnnie, Annie and myself. Papa got something in his head and for his health had to change climate. Johnnie and I were in poor hralth also.
Uncle Bischoff was in Florida and wrote Papa that Florida was a healthy climate and country. He went down to see and sure enuf he felt better; in fact, so good that he wrote mother to come sown with us. We were very happy but Mother went to savannah by boat and then by covered wagon to the place where uncle lived. We told the fruit just grew wild but we surely got fooled. We landed July 1th and on the 4th we had a fish fry. We had never seen anthing of that kind- fry stuff outside and eat off the ground. And imagine corn bread made out of rough cornmeal soda & water.sister in Baltimore) Pa cleaned up and slos sweet potatoes. Well, we just couldn't eat such meals. We come from the city and were used to having good meals. There was no church and no school. Brother Joe didn't stay because he was a barber by trade and down there no one bothered much about shaving. So he went back to baltimore and got married. His wife dies of childbirth and the baby also. A year later he died also of T.B. at about the age of 24. Joe and the other three are burried in Baltimore.
Father got a little land which was very poor. Real estate agents were cheating people coming in from the outside. Well, father started to build a log house cutting the logs himself. It was just one big room and the rain came in from all sides. Lucky enough mother had brot her carpet and so she would hand this around the sides to keep out the rain (she had also brot along her feather beds, but on account of the heat she soon sent these back to her around there and planted a garden, and among other things sweet potatoes. There wasn't any store around so you either had to raise your own corn or buy it from the natives and take it to the neighbors to have it ground. You couldn't buy white flour unless you want on houseback thru the woods for about 25 miles to Dade City. This was real small place, but you could at least buy groceries there such as salt, rice, soda flour, syrup and brown sugar.
The natives raised sugar cane and made their own sugar and syrup. Whenever it got very hot the syrup would foam up and run all over the glasses and jars. It was so thin that many just kept it in jugs. The main meal down there was grits which was terrible stuff. It was made by cooking ground corn with water and then eating it with syrup.. Milk never amounted to much because they left their cows run wild with the calves. If they would come home to the pen they would milk them otherwise there just wasn't any milk. The only meat was that of wild hogs which they caught in the woods. We certainly weren't uses to eating stuff like that. What a living!
Christmas came along and would you belive it! Those natives had never even heard of a christmas tree. Oak trees never lose their leaves down there, so papa took an oak tree, trimmed it all up with paper and things that mamma had brot along from Baltimore. Them he carried it to the neighbors and you should have seen them! The news spread and many people came to see it. They claim that it was the first Christmas tree in Florida. We had Mass here only once a month in a private Home.
Soon Papa bought a place of his own and after enuf people came around we name the place St. Joe. We helped to build the church there (My husband's father was the main builder). We also started a school which was taught by an old man. They sent me to the Sisters at San Antonio. I was 12 years old and the first one to stay boarder, so I got very homesick. They finally had me take music to get me over it. After taking that for 12 months school was out and I went home. The church was finished now and papa bought an organ-a little one- for it, which I played, sang and ran every day the chior for 7 years. During this time I rode horseback to school every day which was three miles away.
As time went on Papa, Mama and I were home alone. We planted three acres of strawberries. Papa and I had little plows with which we used to work the berries. When picking time came around we got some negros to help us and at night we would pack, but we couldn't make any money at that. Then the big frost came along and killed every fruit tree; so we didn't have anything left. (this must have been the big freeze of 1897 or 1898 which Mrs George Bischoff used to talk about which made poor men out of the rich over night. All the groover froze out)
Annie married Caspar Zierden and had moved up to Minnesota. After she had been there a year she wrote that we should come up too. Papa had always wanted to go North, so we went. Since we didn't have a home, we stayed with them. I worked for then that year and got a coat for it. The next year Tony came up from Florida and we got married. At first we stayed with her sister and husband, but he drand so much that we left. (I don't mean that Tony drank-never). We didnot have a thing, except a cow, a calf and a few chickens. We rented a place and got horses and other things, all without money. We started to work, but neighbor of us knew how to farm. We got this farm at West Union where we stayed for 4 years and where Tony and James were born. There I again played the organ and ran the choir to pay off our pew rent. Father Maurus was the pastor. Mama cooked for him for a while.
Then we moved to New Munich and rented another farm of 160 acres.. Here Katie and Caspar were born. We had this place 6 years and wanted to buy it . We paid $10.00 down but another came along and paid more to buy it and we lost it. We then rented another place 1/2 mile away, where Johnnie, George and Frank were born. We were here 6 years also. Then we bot the 120 acres farm we are on now and later we bought 160 acres next to it, the Henry Nelage farm. Here Margaret and Loretta were born. We built a new house in 1917 after first building a silo and a new piece of the old barn. Three years after the house was built we built a new barn and hen house. Soon the granary and smoke house.
Now we have 50 jersey cows, other stock, machinery etc. The Children are grown and at 64 years of age we farm with hired help. Mayme married Joe Nentle and came to Minnesota shortly before we did. My brother John also came and is running a dairy in Melrose.
The folks moved to a house they bought in town shortly before celebrating their diamond jubilee. Mom died March 22, 1961; Dad Jan 8, 1962 and burried in New Munich.

A man slips behind someone else into a packed elementary school with an AK-47-type weapon. He goes into the office and shoots at the ground, then darts between there and outside to fire at approaching police.
So what do you do?
If you're Antoinette Tuff, who works in the front office at Ronald E. McNair Discovery Learning Academy just outside Atlanta, you don't run. You talk. You divulge your personal struggles to the gunman, you tell him you love him, you even proactively offer to walk outside with him to surrender so police won't shoot.
And then the nightmare ends with the suspect, later identified as Michael Brandon Hill, taken into custody and no one inside or outside the Decatur school even hurt, despite the gunfire.
"Let me tell you something, babe," Tuff tells the dispatcher, Kendra McCray, at the end of the dramatic 911 call that recounts her minutes of valor and terror. "I've never been so scared in all the days of my life. Oh, Jesus."
This brief outburst of emotion, moments after police entered the school Tuesday, was in stark contrast to her cool, calm demeanor as heard earlier on that 911 call.
As a go-between, she relayed his demands that police refrain from using their radios and "stop all movement," or else the suspect would shoot.
"He doesn't want the kids, he wants the police, so back off," she said in the call. "What else, sir? He said he don't care if he die, he don't have nothing to live for, and he said he's not mentally stable."
By the end -- with police themselves having never directly talked to him -- Tuff and the gunman were talking about where he would put his weapon, how he'd empty his pockets and where he'd lie down before authorities could get him.
"It's going to be all right, sweetie," she tells Hill at one point in the call. "I just want you to know I love you, though, OK? And I'm proud of you. That's a good thing that you're just giving up and don't worry about it. We all go through something in life."
Tuff then let the gunman know that she'd been down before herself, but she'd picked herself up. He could, too.
"I thought the same thing, you know, I tried to commit suicide last year after my husband left me," she said. "But look at me now. I'm still working and everything is OK."
That day, for everyone at that school, everything did turn out OK. Shots were fired, but no one got hurt. The gunman never made it to the classroom area, deciding instead to give up and lay down.
This ending is thanks largely to Tuff, said McCray, the woman who fielded her 911 call. Echoing President Barack Obama -- who called Tuff on Thursday to thank her -- and many others, McCray described Tuff as a "true hero" for being courageous, calm and personable.
"You did a great job," McCray said, shortly after the two met in person for the first time Thursday for an exclusive interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper. "You made my job a lot easier."
Tuff, others 'thought it was a drill'
Tuff had training in how to deal with such a scenario.
School staff regularly train for dangerous situations involving trespassers and emergency protocol, school district spokesman Quinn Hudson said.
Tuff and two other staff members -- a cafeteria manager and a media specialist -- were specifically trained in hostile situations.
"The training is so often and extensive, they thought it was a drill" at first, said Hudson.

Enter Una's world: two cities at war and her allegiance wavering. I have an outline and story waiting to be continued. Now I need you.
I love to write. I have always wanted to be a writer, and I am committed to a life of writing. I have one novel under my belt, but even though I have an urgent vision for an adult fantasy trilogy titled Spin, I am working against my present circumstances to make it happen. As a stay-at-home mom with my husband doubling his time in the work force and at school, I will need some serious funding to write, revise, illustrate, and get Book One to the publishers.
Currently, all three books of the trilogy--Spin, Spinning, and Spun--are outlined and the characters sketched out (metaphorically and otherwise). Chapter one, as well as various scenes and notes, have accumulated in the files. The next step is to carve out the time and resources to take the story that is thriving in my mind and translate it on to paper.
This is where Kickstarter--and YOU--come in. If I am fully funded, I will have Book One complete a year from the day I receive my funding. With art supplies, printer supplies, and childcare provided by your generosity, you will have made that happen. You'll not only be proving that a career writer can support a family, you will also be helping an author launch a career and bring a great book to the world.
If I am over-funded, I am prepared to take the money and write the second and third books of the trilogy. With three times my goal, the trilogy would be complete, and Una would have taken us all with her on a journey from Urbania into Tsion and around a world full of land-faring ships, towns fast asleep, and music-induced apocalypse, full of hope, bravery, destruction, and love, to Spin's ultimate conclusion.
To whet your appetite, here is an excerpt from chapter one:
Peter stood to the side, his fists shoved down into his hoodie pockets and his gaze wandering over the closest wall of the stairwell. June fumbled with the keys and the jangling muted as they hit the floor. She cussed under her breath, bent over to retrieve them, stood, and searched through them for the right key, again. Peter's gaze roved the fine cracks in the plaster, the grime built up in the wood trim over years and years of occupancy. It was bright in here, wide, and from somewhere overhead came light, from underneath a rush of air. Better than most of the stairwells of Urbania. So claustrophobic, usually.
The doorknob finally clunked to the side, the keys gave a dying shiver, and June pushed the white door open into the apartment. Gold light shifted in through the open window sashes around the long, gauzy curtains which spilled onto the ground around low couches and chairs and piles and piles of mismatched books. Dust flitted drunkenly in the golden shafts. A bass beat pumped through the floor and into all the colorful, shivering dishes on the counter and in the sink. Crooning floated, muffled.
"Sorry about the mess!" June yelled over her shoulder as she thunked a brown paper grocery bag down on the sea green kitchen island counter—a sanded wood that reminded Peter of the beach—and then crossed the room to shift her batik bag off her shoulder and on to the tiny, Pepto-formica kitchen table.
"What?!" he yelled back.
"Oh! Hold on!" June turned and rushed stage left down a hallway and, opting not to stand around with nothing to do, Peter loped after her. The bass got louder, the melody and the singing as well. Indian music? Something from Bollywood? June opened a door and the music washed out at Peter in waves that he could feel.
Whereas the hallway was dim from lack of windows, the bedroom June now entered was awash in bright light. Around the straight edge of the door, Peter could see a sliver of someone across the room; she had not yet noticed that the door was open or that June was walking toward her, out of frame. She swung her head side to side, a long, black, braid whipping around her shoulders. She twirled so that she was almost invisible to him behind the door, but he caught a line of her profile which froze itself for an instant: heavily lashed eye in profile with her strong nose; lips parted over straight teeth; that braid whipped to the side so that with her back twisted toward him he could see her slender back, the spine curved along the nakedness revealed by a backless haltertop; the spine a brilliant blue which faded outward into her smooth, olive skin; around her waist coiled a blue tail.
Peter moved forward and leaned on the door frame, the door only partly concealing him in its shadows. June picked up an article of clothing from a messy chair and threw it a few feet at the girl's head. She startled and jumped around to face June.
June exaggerated a pantomime. "Turn! Down! Your! Music!" She ended by pointing at a stereo teetering on a chest-high dresser swathed in variously-patterned material. Several bottles of jewel-toned nailpolish teetered in front of the radio and Peter's gaze fell to the floor where the blast of the music had already jolted a few to the floor, where they lay on their side, one jumping in circles.
The music cut off suddenly, leaving emptiness and a steady, low, ring in the air.
"What's he doing here?" Una frowned over the ridge of her exposed shoulder.
"What? You know him?"
"No. I mean his type, June. What is his type doing here?"
Peter glanced over at June's blank face. "She means this." He removed a hand from his pockets to point at his red hoodie.
"Exactly, June. Not that I would have expected one of them to be so observant."
"You'll find we can be very surprising," Peter offered with a winning smile. It was not lost on June, but Una's acidity was palpable.
"Una, that's so rude!" June was surprised and irked. Peter thought she must have never brought someone of his type home, before. Really, it wasn't surprising. They weren't exactly thick as cement in Urbania.
"Oh, fine," Una sighed. "Just don't try proselytizing me or anything."
"Wasn't planning on it." Peter hadn't removed his eyes from her and his placid demeanor was slowly making Una uneasy. June realized she had very much lost Peter's attention.
"Well—" she interjected into the staring contest, "We were just going to make dinner. Peter is working with me on a levitation project."
Una scoffed. "Yeah. Good luck with that."
Have a question? If the info above doesn't help, you can ask the project creator directly.

About "The Digital Guy" and The Digital Guy radio show
Bruce Nazarian, "The Digital Guy" has worn many hats during his long career - Producer, Studio Musician, Recording Artist, Grammy nominee, and is a long-time veteran of the music scene. The newest hat he wears is as host of his new music radio show, and he brings all of his unique music experience to The Digital Guy radio show.
To say he loves the music is a given. But his insight into the process of being an artist, a producer, a label executive, and even a promo guy helps bring a new perspective to the music - especially as many of the artists he plays on the shows are his personal friends!
During his many years as a studio musician, he shared studios and sessions with many of the legendary names in the Motor City's amazing music history: David Ruffin, Johnnie Taylor, Barrett Strong, Anita Baker, the Spinners, and many others, and worked with Funk Brothers guitarists Robert White, Eddie Willis, and Dennis Coffey, keyboardists Earl Van Dyke, Ruby Robinson and Ivy Joe Hunter, drummers Richard "Pistol" Allen, and Uriel Jones, bass players Bob Babbit, Bootsy Collins, and Tony Newton, as well as percussionists like Jack Ashford, Jack Brokensha, Jerry Paul, and Bongo Eddie Brown. Special memories include great sessions with super-arranger David van de Pitte, famous for Marvin Gaye's What's Going On LP".
Bruce has worked with producers as varied as Don Was, Don Davis, Mike Theodore, George Clinton, and many many superb engineers all of whom helped craft his approach to engineering and producing. A truly priceless apprenticeship... all of which became part of The Digital Guy's approach to music making.
The new Digital Guy Radio Show is an opportunity for Bruce to provide an "insider's look" at the music, from someone who has been there making it for decades! In addition to contemporary and classic tracks, the show also includes a weekly new music report from Denis Poole of SmoothJazzTherapy.com.
The mission: to bring you the best of music I like, both old and new, classic and 21st century soul, funk, contemporary jazz, and more - each week will be an exciting musical journey, I promise.

I'm watching How I Met Your Mother "To be honest, I'm really glad that this is the last season of How I Met Your Mother, because everything that made me fall in love with this show in the first place went out the window once Barney and Robin's eternal wedding weekend started. They may be two of the show's most beloved characters, but for me, they're the most overrated - and to have multiple episodes (maybe an entire final season?) centered around them just punctuates this fact. I have had a difficult time in the latter half of the series sympathizing with Robin and the men who hopelessly dote over her. Tonight's episode made me wonder if she deserves not just the surprise rehearsal party, but any of the attention she constantly gets despite the fact that she is mostly self-centered and her decisions self-serving. What I'd like to see is a grand gesture done for Lily, who appears to be the most caring, selfless friend in the group. Bear in mind, this is coming from a woman who was in a 7-year relationship with the man who is now my husband, and I happen to share a lot in common with Lily!" 2943 others are also watching.

Did you know some insects are good to have around? It's true! We call these types of insects beneficials.
O.K. — so it may seem a little odd that a pest control company is "singing" the praises of bugs, but hear us out.
Many of the benefits provided by these insects often go unseen and unappreciated. We thought we would take a little time today to highlight some of these "bug benefits!"
Let's take a closer look at these constructive critters…
Everyone knows honey bees are good guys, right? Without them we would not have honey nor beeswax! Bees also play a crucial role in pollination. Pollination is the process of development for a flower's seeds. Flower seeds must be fertilized by pollen from the same or another flower in order to reproduce. Pollen can be "delivered" via the wind or transferred from the bodies of insects such as bees!
And although we love honey and beeswax, their importance pales in comparison to the role pollination plays in our blooming world! Thanks, honey bees!
Yes, you read that correctly…fruit flies! These tiny critters are helping scientists complete research to better understand genetic or inherited diseases in humans. Yes, fruit flies are still a "pest" in general, but if they end up helping scientists find a cure for a terrible disease, we think that's pretty beneficial!
Crickets are noisy, but did you know field crickets are known to feed upon the eggs and pupae of indoor pests? That's pretty helpful, huh? They also feed on animal remains, so they kind of turn into a cricket clean-up crew! Now, we think that is very beneficial!
Learn something yet? We hope so! Stay tuned next week for Part II of Helpful Insects.
And, if you are looking for organic pest control services in the Sarasota area, look no further! Good News Pest Solutions endeavors to provide you with superior organic pest control methods while being mindful of your health and the environment. Contact us today if you are looking for the leader in green pest control!

Terminals, Command Lines, and Consoles
Due to the variations in operating systems the terminal program is different for each. To interact with a terminal on your operating system simply follow the guide below.
'Terminal' is a program that comes preinstalled. Type 'Terminal' into the Spotlight tool (CMD + Space or click the magnifying glass in the top right)
Although windows comes with 'cmd' you will need to download the tool 'PowerShell' in order to run any of the commands in this tutorial. It can be downloaded from here.
Most Linux distributions supply several, such as: gnome-terminal, konsole, xterm, rxvt, kvt, nxterm, and eterm. No need to download anything, just read the help documentation for your distribution to see which one is included.

As his first release of the new year, Reks looks to win us over as early as possible with a heavy affair. With a gift from Pro Era's Lee Bannon on the production, the lyricist keeps a firm mood from start to finish, showing that he's not playing any games at all. "Judas" is the first track from his forthcoming project titled Revolution Cocktail, which will be available to purchase via iTunes on January 22nd. Expect to have a lot of brand new content before the 12 months are over, as this is just the beginning.

The Kardashians recently released their 2010 Christmas card photo and, as in the case of everything that is Kardashian, it's over the top.
With MOST of the Kardashian women draped in designer gowns (Kim is wearing a white cutout gown from Emilio Pucci) and the men decked out in designer suits (even little Mason is hot to "tot"), the family photo looks more like a haute couture holiday ad than something you'd receive in the mail with a fruit cake.
That said, I'm a tad jealous I don't have the money and small (sexy Armenian) army to pull something like this off myself. Guess it's going to be golden retrievers with santa hats again...
What's your take on this year's Kardashian Christmas card?

Where is this magical land of petting kittens by the poolside?!
There's a few resorts in Mexico where the stray cats come for petting, and food too which we were happy to supply.
Meowby Dick!

Call me Hissmael.
And Squeequeg!
Going after the white tuna.
I know that the "Men of CO" calendar idea is all the rage, but… uh… if you folks ever get that finished, and want to follow it up with a "Women of CO" calendar, this would be a fine submission.
I was just thinking that NOMTOM was probably excited to finally have an excuse to post a picture of a woman in a bikini on C.O.!
Mrs. Slocombe: If I'm not careful where I put my hand, it ends up covered in pussy hair.
Too far?
Mrs Slocombe quotes are never too far!!

AWW I would pick up that sweet little orange tabby and give him/her a cuddling before taking him/her home with me

That tummy is just too moische!
Best. Rollover. Text. EVAR!
Those fingers are about to get a fierce pouncing.
He's got a bit of a farmer tan, doesn't he? Head and arms more orange than his little white belly and legs.

Have you seen Patti the dog?
Red & White Border Collie missing from home on Oak Ridge Road, could also be in the Springwood Road or Blue Ridge Turnpike Area. Has a red collar with invisible fence transmitter. Left on Wednesday evening when the fence lost power due to a break in the line. Was at a house on Springwood Road that night. Has not returned home and has never stayed gone this long before. Very timid about thunderstorms, gunfire and fireworks. If located, call 520-6919 or Botetourt County Animal Control.

ReferNet (European Network of Reference and Expertise) is a network for gathering and disseminating information on vocational education and training targeting researchers, policy-makers and practicians who are related to vocational education and training through their everyday activities.
ReferNet was founded by the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training (Cedefop). The members of the network are 27 EU Member States, Norway and Iceland. The main objective of the network is to provide comparable information on Member States' developments and policies in VET and to compile the knowledge of key organisations. In order to reach this objective, ReferNet provides an opportunity for reciprocal exchange of information and promotes cooperation with international organisations in Europe and in the whole world. For more information about each country, look at ReferNet national websites.
The task of the network on the national level is to prepare annual overviews and analyses on the status of vocational education and training, the latest developments and studies in various fields; it also maintains an electronic database of information on the materials related to VET related (printed matters, websites, etc.). Comparative information on VET developments in different European countries is available on the Cedefop webpage.
The representative body of ReferNet in every member country is a National Consortium. A unit of Foundation Innove - ReferNet Estonia - leads and coordinates the consortium in Estonia.

Finishing strong as a youth and groups pastor.
Building support and finding partners for a church plant.
Developing branding for said church plant.
Updating this blog.
All of that gets put on hold when your 3 month old son gets sick. I've heard other parents talk about the pain of seeing your kid get sick, but I had no idea. Needless to say it has been a rough week, but we are coming out of it.
So I'm hitting reset and will start up with my regular schedule on Monday.
There is something I am learning through this, though.
Coming into this week I had a mental to-do list that was causing all sorts of anxiety, something I am predisposed to already. Here I am 5 days or so after we first realized Ike was really sick and much of that list remains undone. There is still much to do, but this pretty awful last week has put some things into their correct place.
It is time to get after the to-do list, but it isn't time to mentally disengage from what is right in front of me. This reset isn't an opportunity to relax, it is an opportunity to work but to work on the right things in the right order.

About Me
"If we had asked the public what they wanted, they would have said they want faster horses." - Henry Ford
This has always been my approach -- knowing what your market doesn't yet realize nor comprehend, and enlightening them to adopt something that will soon be irreplaceable in some aspect of their lives -- that's effective marketing.
I am a results-driven digital strategist and interactive marketer who employs strong market instincts, business acumen and tech-savvy creativity in solving complex problems. I've driven successful brand marketing initiatives and product launches that deliver a measurable and sustainable impact. I'm in favor of brand simplicity over brand engagement. Most recently I have begun a fantastic challenge to lead the transformation of the digital arm of a rapidly growing luxury brand.

Welcome to the Shick Heart Center
Ablations This is an invasive procedure which involves the correction of an abnormal heart rhythm (too fast/too slow) created by abnormal electrical conduction pathway in the heart's conduction system. During an ablation, the Electrophysiologist (EP doctor) locates the abnormal pathway and ablates it by cauterization (controlled burning), which sends the electrical current down a more desirable path. Generally after this procedure you will be discharged home with follow-up as determined by your physician.
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) An ICD is a device used to help control your heart rate and delivers a shock to the heart should it go into a fatal arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). It is sometimes recommended for people who have weak heart muscles due to congestive heart failure (CHF) or those diagnosed with " Sudden Death " a condition where the heart rhythm suddenly changes to a rhythm that does not sustain life (i.e. ventricular fibrillation). Click here for more information about The ICD Support Group.
The Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillatorpictured above is underneath a U.S. Quarter
Pacemaker The pacemaker is a device which is implanted to initiate electrical conductions when your own electrical conduction system fails, malfunctions or functions at to slow of a rate. This small electrical device has two parts, a generator and one or two wires, called leads. The generator which is pictured below is inserted into a pocket underneath your skin, usually located on your left chest just beneath the shoulder. The pacemaker is programmed at the specifications of your cardiologist based on your specific needs. Click here for more information on Pacemakers.
