After a long afternoon on the beach, especially for tired hungry adults, there is an even better reason to visit Mersea island – the fish and chips.
One of the best places in Mersea to get your hands on some, as well as some of the local delicacies, is the West Mersea Oyster Bar.
On a warm sunny day, you can sit outside the bar and watch the boats go by.
However, the day we visited it wasn't to be – with five children all under six realising the sea wasn't as warm as they thought it was, we headed inside to the restaurant.
Despite it being August, and ignoring the old saying that one should only eat oysters if there is an "R" in the month, my friend and I felt compelled to try out the restaurant's namesake and promptly ordered three rock oysters each as a starter.
When the season starts again this month, I shall be back for the "natives" but these went down a treat.
The children all had fish and chips, of course.
I rarely get much feedback from the boys on their food, so I tend to go on a) how much they've eaten and b) how much ketchup it's taken for them to do so.
The result here was good, virtually all clean plates with minimal sauce required.
Unfortunately, my first choice of scallops was sold out so instead, eager to try something I hadn't had before, I plumped for the battered skate.
The shape of a skate wing means you get a really thin crisp coating of batter which just peels off like a crisp piece of chicken skin – lovely.
My friend went for the haddock, which rather enviously came with some mushy peas.
Fortunately, both mains came with the oyster bar's homemade tartare sauce, which really made a difference.
Over the years I've been coming here, the food has always been consistently good and the increased variety on the menu means there's so many more reasons to keep coming back.
Robin James
What we ate
3 Rock Oysters: £2.50
Kids cod and chips: £4.95
Battered skate and chips: £10.95
Battered haddock with chips and mushy peas: £10.95

What are the main differences between the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C ?
For the first time ever Apple has unleashed two new phones simultaneously, so for the first time ever even if you're a die-hard Apple fan there's a decision to be made- do you buy the flagship iPhone 5S or the slightly more budget iPhone 5C. To help you make that all important decision here's a rundown of the differences between the two handsets.
The iPhone 5S looks exactly the same as the iPhone 5. It's the same size and shape and has the same premium metal body, which leaves it looking slick and classy and it's available in 3 all-new colours: Gold, Silver and Space Grey.
The iPhone 5C is a device which a few years ago it might have been hard to believe Apple would make. Gone is the refined elegance of the iPhone 5S replaced with, well, brightly coloured plastic in pink, yellow, white, blue or green. It doesn't look bad and may even be quite appealing to younger users but it's undeniably cheaper looking than the iPhone 5S.
Aside from the plastic though the two devices look quite similar, they're the same shape and while the iPhone 5C is slightly longer, thicker and wider the differences are negligible. You might think that the metal smartphone would be heavier than a plastic one, but the iPhone 5S (112g) is actually 20g lighter than the iPhone 5C (132g).
Both the iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C have a 4 inch 1136 x 640 display with a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch. In other words that's one area where there's nothing to choose.
The iPhone 5S has a 64 bit A7 processor, which is supposedly twice as fast as the A6 processor in the iPhone 5. It also has an M7 motion coprocessor which keeps track of all your movements, allowing you to use your phone as a fitness tracker.
The iPhone 5C has a 32 bit A6 processor. It's unknown how many cores there are or what speed each is clocked at, but it's likely that the iPhone 5C is roughly as powerful as the iPhone 5, which would make the iPhone 5S twice as fast. The iPhone 5C also doesn't have an M7 motion coprocessor.
Both handsets have an 8 megapixel camera; however that's where the similarities end. The iPhone 5S has a larger active sensor area which allows it to take more detailed photos. It also has a True Tone dual-LED flash which helps ensure colours are natural, while the iPhone 5C just has a single LED flash. The iPhone 5S can also shoot slow motion video at 120fps, which the iPhone 5C can't, though both can shoot 1080p video at 30fps. Both phones also have a 1.2 megapixel FaceTime camera.
All in all, the feature set on the iPhone 5S's camera is substantially greater than on the iPhone 5C, but in terms of just megapixels they're equal.
One of the main selling points of the iPhone 5S over the 5C is its fingerprint scanner. It can be used both to unlock your phone and to make purchases on the app store and it is of course a lot faster than entering a password.
Both phones run iOS 7, so there's no difference there.
The iPhone 5S comes in 16, 32 or 64GB varieties, while the iPhone 5C will be available with 16 or 32GB of storage. Neither handset has a micro SD card slot, so if you want a lot of storage the 64GB iPhone 5S is the only option.
The battery in the iPhone 5S is rated at 1434 mAh, while it's not yet known how big the battery in the iPhone 5C is. However in terms of life Apple has quoted exactly the same figures for both of them, giving you 10 hours of talk time on 3G or up to 250 hours of standby time.
Both handsets support Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G LTE, so that's another area where they're identical.
The iPhone 5S starts at £549 for the 16GB model. For £629 you can get the 32GB version and for £709 you can get the 64GB model.
The iPhone 5C starts at a still far from cheap £469 for the 16GB version, while the 32GB model costs £549 (the same as a 16GB iPhone 5S).
< Back
The key differences between the two handsets then are that the iPhone 5S has a premium build while the 5C is plastic, the 5S is a lot more powerful, has a motion coprocessor, more camera features, a fingerprint scanner , is significantly lighter and potentially has more storage. It also costs nearly £100 more. Whether those features justify the extra outlay is subjective, but we'd be inclined to say that they do.

text: Emmerdale welcomes 'cheeky chappy' Daz 09 Jul 2014 Emmerdale viewers watched the arrival of Dan Spencer's brother Daz to the village on Tuesday, as actor Mark Jordon tells This Morning's Phillip and Holly about his love for the "cheeky chappy". Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Making his presence known in Emmerdale ahead of Dan and Kerry's wedding, it soon becomes clear the brothers don't always get on as Dan is jealous of his ex-army sibling.But despite his character's seemingly easy manner and dramatic stories, Mark revealed to This Morning that not all is what it seems. He said: "I love Daz, I just think he is not what you think he is."There is a particular reason which we definitely find out this week why Daz has utilised the fact there is a wedding to his best advantage."As all good classic soap weddings are I can probably be allowed to say it doesn't go very smoothly and whether or not Daz has a hand in that (you will have to wait and see)."After being a big hit with the villagers, especially the ladies, questions were raised as to whether or not there was a potential love interest for the character.Mark revealed: "There's definitely going to be a moment (with) one of the characters ...we get close and I would imagine that everyone at home would be very disappointed."And I would imagine it would be one of those moments where there is literally a "no!" (moment) going on. So I'm so pleased because this has been just tremendous for me."With previous soap experience on Coronation Street, EastEnders and Hollyoaks, Mark said he really feels like he has "landed on his feet" in getting this latest role and he hopes the show's producers will let him stay for a while yet."This whole being in Emmerdale is great, just to have a nice chunk of story should be good enough, but I think what they have done, the writing is so brilliant on this, they lead you down a little path."This week we'll know why he is really there and then maybe in your own mind as an audience member you will think: "Oh, OK, we know what type of person he is now and we'll watch for that"."But it goes off again, there's a little thing that happens and it takes him somewhere else, but because of the Spencer connection, it affects them and it affects their storylines and part of my journey is to send others off on journeys too directly because of me and it's just brilliant how that unfolds." © UTV Share Share Share

Seahawks return to their stellar defensive ways to beat Jets
The Seahawks took a step backward Sunday. That wasn't entirely a bad thing, though.
Their defense reverted to its September form: stifling, unyielding and a little angry in Seattle's 28-7 victory over the New York Jets at CenturyLink Field.
"We just went back to the fundamentals," defensive tackle Red Bryant said. "Playing physical and being mean, bottom line.
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- All's still not smooth for Uber after its bumpy ride to Sea-Tac Airport
Most Read Stories
"And that's how we played today."
That's how they played all day, actually. Because while Seattle's offense was inconsistent, alternating between stellar and stagnant, it was the defense whose signature sealed this game.
The Jets offense didn't score a touchdown. They didn't even get close for most of the game, driving the ball inside Seattle's 40-yard line only once.
That drive ended when cornerback Richard Sherman intercepted Mark Sanchez in the second quarter, one of two turnovers Sherman forced.
The Jets gained 185 yards on offense, fewest by a Seattle opponent this season, and their only points resulted from a fumble by Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson that was fielded on one hop by Jets tackle Muhammad Wilkerson and returned for a touchdown.
Seattle's offense had its moments, but they were interrupted by long stretches of ineptitude in the second and third quarters.
Marshawn Lynch surpassed 100 yards rushing for the fourth successive game, matching a franchise record, Sidney Rice had two touchdown catches and Golden Tate put on an individual skills clinic with a 38-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter, a 23-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter and one incredible hurdle on a screen pass.
This victory belonged to Seattle's defense, though, a unit that had been questioned in recent weeks and responded with a knee-knocker of a performance against a Jets team that crossed midfield only twice in the second half and finished with the second-lowest yardage output of its season.
It was the third time this season Seattle did not allow an offensive touchdown.
"A testament to the entire defense," Sherman said.
It was impressive, from the front four, which included Brandon Mebane making six tackles — remarkable for a defensive tackle — to rookie Bruce Irvin recording two sacks to Mike Morgan stepping in for K.J. Wright at strongside linebacker. Wright was out because of a concussion, and Morgan did his best to make sure no one noticed Seattle was missing one of its best defenders.
"Michael Morgan fit in," coach Pete Carroll said, "Playing without K.J. is a big deal for us. I think that was a big statement, and we did take a step forward this week."
So much for the defensive erosion that had been the story line for Seattle these past three weeks.
The Seahawks didn't allow an opposing team to rush for more than 100 yards in any of its first six games.
It allowed two players to surpass that mark in the span of 18 days as San Francisco's Frank Gore and Minnesota's Adrian Peterson both hit triple digits not to mention the fourth-quarter lead it lost in Detroit.
"We felt like teams were kind of stretching us," Bryant said.
But against the Jets, the Seahawks defense snapped back. They didn't give up a run longer than 9 yards, going back to the basics both in terms of formation and effectiveness.
When Seattle's offense went five drives without scoring in the first half, it was the Seahawks defense that kept the Jets from taking the lead. And in a scoreless third quarter, it was Seattle's defense that kept the Jets from ever mounting a threat.
"We hung together," Carroll said, "and kind of kept punching at it."
The result was a knockout.

Izz ad-Din al-Qassam
The Qassam rocket is named after the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. The rockets and the brigade are named after Izz ad-Din al-Qassam, a Syrian Islamist guerrilla who fought in the Arab revolt of the early 1930s against British military and the local Jewish population in mandatory Palestine. Qassam and two of his followers were killed in November 1935.
The use of Qassam rockets against Israeli civilians is a relatively recent development. Hamas has gained notoriety over three decades, since its inception in late 1987, by carrying out headline-grabbing suicide bombings against Israeli civilians. After a fresh round of Palestinian violence in autumn 2000, tighter Israeli security measures made it more difficult for Hamas to launch its suicide operations. Increasingly, Qassams have become Hamas' weapon of choice.
Qassams were first fired at Israeli civilian targets in October 2001. They were initially directed at Israeli citizens living in the Gaza strip before the unilateral pullout in 2005. The first Qassam to land in Israeli territory was on February 10, 2002. The number of rockets launched in recent years has increased exponentially.
Total rockets fired from 2001-2010: 4,955
Note: These figures are approximates, as it is impossible to verify each and every single rocket fired.

Whether or not something is sold in a store doesn't mean its legal for service members to use. Remember, marijuana is legal in California with a physician's recommendation, and it is sold in stores.

Thank you for your information. I am happy to assist you.
It appears to not be a violation of your probation since the act occurred prior to your probation. However, a probation officer typically still has the authority to violate you for other reasons.
You will want to gather evidence that you are not the same person and retain local counsel to represent you in the new matter.
I hope that the information which I provided was helpful to you.
Best wishes for a Happy New Year. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to submit them to me directly.
Thank you, Customer/span>
So, just so I stop worrying... I am sorry, I just want to make sure I don't get in anymore trouble. I just am sick of my past and have been making forward progress. I am the same person, but not the same person because of my past mistakes. So, he normally would not get a warrant? The paperwork was just filed last week for this case, but the date of violation was January 2007. So, even though it was filed just last week, but the violation was before the probation term, I am not violating probation? I just need some reassurance.

US. Autogrill subsidiary HMSHost has had its catering license at Las Vegas McCarran International airport renewed for another ten years, taking it to 2018. The contract had been due to expire in 2008.
The unusually long-term contract is expected to generate US$1.3 billion in sales over the 2004-2018 concession period, Autogrill said.
The extension of our partnership with Las Vegas McCarran International Airport until 2018 attests to our unique ability to tailor programmes to individual airports specific needs and provide maximum value for concession holders, operators and customers, said Autogrill Group Chief Executive Officer Gianmario Tondato da Ruos.
As part of the agreement, HMSHost will undertake extensive renovations in more than 25 spaces throughout the airport, bringing the total number of locations run by Autogrills North American subsidiary at Las Vegas to approximately 60. It will begin with an initial investment of more than US$12 million for the period 2004-2006.
Factors taken into account in the decision to extend the contract were HMSHosts solid expertise in airport food & beverage services, its application of best practices and a brand portfolio that combines top international names with successful local concepts, Autogrill said.
The programme for Las Vegas is based on a detailed study of traveller profiles and spend capacity and confirms the Autogrill Groups marketing policy of building close ties with the local community," the company added.
With approximately 36.3 million passengers in 2003 (up by +3.6% over 2002), 42 airlines and 92 aircraft gates, Las Vegas McCarran International Airport is one of the worlds 20 largest airports and ranks as one of Americas top 10.
Key concepts at Las Vegas McCarran International Airport will include:
Wolfgang Puck Express: a chain that takes its name from world-renowned chef and restaurateur Wolfgang Puck, with a grand gourmet menu of dishes ready to eat in less than 7 minutes;
Blue Burrito Grille: one of Americas most notable restaurant chains, with a selection of low-fat dishes prepared using only the freshest ingredients;
Chilis: one of the most popular casual dining restaurants in the USA, offering a unique take on Mexican food;
Starbucks Coffee: the worlds leading brand of specialty coffee, which sells more than 10 million cups of coffee in airports every week. HMSHost plans to build seven new Starbucks locations at Las Vegas;
Jose Cuervo Tequileria: created in partnership with the worlds premier tequila brand, this concept will serve freshly-prepared Mexican food and eleven different varieties of Jose Cuervo tequila;
Great Steak and Potato Company: known simply as Great Steak to its customers in the US and Canada, this concept offers a specialty menu of variously prepared signature meat and potato dishes.

In early February, two months into a national debate over gun violence after the massacre at a Connecticut elementary school, representatives of the firearms industry were wining and dining lawmakers in Washington, D.C.
The occasion was for the incoming leadership of the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus, which counts more than 250 members in the House and Senate. Hosting the gathering was a little-known but well-connected organization, the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation.
Despite its low profile, the foundation has close ties to members of Congress, allowing its donors, who give as much as $100,000 a year, to mix with lawmakers at shooting contests, banquets and wine tastings. The food and drink at last month's gathering were paid for, in part, by the National Rifle Association (NRA) and the trade group for the gun industry.
Over the past year, sportsmen's caucus members have mingled at a "Wine, Wheels and Wildlife" fundraiser at a North Carolina vineyardand a "Stars and Stripes Shootout" in Tampa, Fla., where the top shooting awards went to a Republican congressman and a lobbyist for the NRA. Such events provide the firearms industry and other foundation donors with a tax-deductible means of lobbying the elected officials who shape policies important to their businesses.

A private charity not affiliated with the government, the foundation carries the cachet of its relationship with the sportsmen's caucus in Congress, which it provides with research on policies affecting hunting and fishing. But while ostensibly focused on those outdoor pursuits, it also presses issues important mainly to the gun industry, one of its largest contributors.
The foundation opposes restrictions on high-capacity ammunition magazines, a ban on military-style AR-15 rifles and the imprinting of bullets with traceable serial numbers to help solve crimes. All of those proposals have surfaced in the current legislative debate, which is expected to continue Thursday when a Senate Judiciary Committee considers a bill to curb illegal gun trafficking.
The foundation says its positions fit with its mission "to work with Congress, governors and state legislatures to protect and advance hunting, recreational angling, and shooting and trapping."
"There is significant overlap between access to firearms and the ability to participate in hunting and recreational shooting activities," it said in a statement.
Others see the linkage as part of a calculated effort by the firearms industry to advance policies that have little to do with outdoor sports. Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., a New Jersey Democrat who as a co-chairman of the law-enforcement caucus has butted heads with the sportsmen's caucus on gun issues, said pro-gun groups had stoked fear in Congress by portraying any limits on firearms as a threat to legitimate pastimes like hunting.
"They see this as if they give in on any one item, it will put them on a slippery slope to coming into your home and taking your guns away," Pascrell said. "They're creating hysteria."
Lawmakers have long formed caucuses on subjects as varied as drug addiction and capital-gains taxes. Special interests often press their cases with caucus members, sometimes through receptions, trips and fundraisers. But most caucuses do not have foundations set up specifically for that purpose.
Established in 1989 as the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus Foundation — the word "caucus" was dropped in 1994 — the foundation is a nonprofit charity under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, meaning it can accept unlimited, tax-deductible donations.
Many of its programs focus on wildlife conservation, on open space and on hunting, including an annual report on its economic benefits. It has held briefings or issued policy statements on opening public lands and waterways for hunting and fishing, easing limits on imports of skins and other trophies from polar-bear hunting and opposing regulation of the lead content in fishing-line sinkers. But it also backs gun-industry positions whose relevance to its historical focus on hunting and fishing is indirect at best.
Foundation President Jeff Crane declined to be interviewed. But in written responses to questions, the foundation said that "limiting the purchase of firearms and ammunition has a direct impact on state-based professional fish and wildlife management" because it would mean less revenue from federal excise taxes, which finance those programs.
Many hunters and target shooters also use rifles that gun-control advocates would classify, wrongly, as assault weapons, it said.
The foundation's board has included top executives of Freedom Group, the largest U.S. maker of firearms, and ATK, the country's biggest producer of ammunition. In 2010, the foundation disclosed that its most generous donor in its history was the gun industry's trade association. (It said last week that another donor, which it would not identify, has since taken top honors.)
Contributions ballooned from $434,000 in 2001 to more than $2 million in 2011, with its top-tier donors including firearms-makers and retailers like Remington, Winchester and Wal-Mart. Other high-level donors include the NRA; outdoor groups like Safari Club International; and ExxonMobil, Amgen and Altria.

Over the weekend, I got together with a colleague to drink nuclear-strength coffee and grouse about our writing-intensive summer plans: deadlines, uncertainty, anxiety. He mentioned the chapter "Shitty First Drafts" from Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life.
When I got home, I dug out my copy,which I've returned to multiple times over the last dozen years, and read through that chapter again. It's short, and I recommend you read the whole book (brisk and warm, like a good mentor), but the next chapter, "Perfectionism," is what always punches me in the face:
Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive believe that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.
Obviously, she's talking specifically about writing, and I "know" (but cannot seem to learn) that perfectionism and writing are chalk and cheese. But I've repeatedly read that paragraph over again, and I think it's one of those things that warrants tattooing on the underside of my eyelids, with an amendation that makes it even more useful to me (pace Ms. Lamott):
Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a freely chosen life.
Of course, most women have real, material oppressors (people, lack of resources or education, health challenges, etc.) that one can't just choose away, but for most of our readership, I would guess that perfectionism, "the voice of the oppressor"–or what I've elsewhere called "the Patriarch in Your Head"–does its own number on us. The pressure to be the perfect mother, student, professional, partner, example of womanity, is enough to make one insane. A lot of that pressure originates from the outside, but (in my case at least) a lot of it is something that I've digested and ultimately decided upon: this is how it's done. This is only how it is done.
So, as I launch into a big project and come face to face with that voice that spits venom and assures me I'm capable of accomplishing nothing but crap, I'm going to try to remember that the voice is not "The Truth Teller" (my tendency), but The Oppressor. The Patriarch. Maybe Rush Limbaugh, or Dick Cheney, or some other loathsome old misogynist shitweasel, telling me that I will FAIL, with the sole intent of causing me to fail.
Writing is my battlefield, and it's easy to think, sitting alone at my desk, that my academic, not-explicitly-feminist writing is not part of my feminism. Wrongo-dongo. I really believe that everything I do is part of my feminism, and learning to write, and to keep writing, and to kick in the metaphorical teeth those who want me to tremble and quail is, too.

Direct marketing company Harte-Hanks surveyed 464 North American companies involved in manufacturing, wholesale/retail, services, finance/insurance/real estate, and transportation/utilities and found that many (44 percent) don't use pure return on investment (ROI) to evaluate their customer relationship management (CRM) systems. Instead, they commonly con-sider some customer-centric metrics that contribute to the venture's overall success.
The survey identifies IT departments and managers as the main decision makers in CRM implementation-52 percent say IT manages their CRM development and main-tenance budgets-although senior managers are gaining in budget responsibility among companies planning CRM initiatives within the next 12 months. Nearly 80 percent report that they treat CRM development and imple-mentation as a corporate initiative and not as a depart-ment-specific project.
According to the report, the main requirement of a CRM system is to offer users a "clean and complete profile of clients and prospects." Sixty-eight percent say they want to see the connections between specific marketing programs and revenue streams from specific clients. Only 19 percent report the need for a client's product-purchase history, a finding that might have been very different if pharma companies had been singled out for the research.

I for one do.
This thread is actually monumental too, it's 22,000 for the whole board.
to the question
Never had to use them so I dunnoooo
I hate them.
I hate heat though
Never used one. But I do love heating pads. I have a bad back, shoulder, and neck so I have to use that lol.
Well are you perpetually cold?
no I get hot too easily in bed. I only use it for my muscles. I'm on medication for it and physical therapy soon. gotta get mris done
this is now general how you sleep thread.
best time for sleeping is the winter. no one denies that. what i prefer:
that it be cold in the room. 2 light quilt type blankets, with a heavier thick planet over them. i kick the end of the blanket under by feet so my lower legs about halfway up to my knees are like sandwiches in the blanket. only one pillow is usually better. and i can ONLY fall asleep on my back these days, but if i wake up in the middle of the night its best to fall BACK asleep on stomach.
that was an odd typo
Never used a heating blanket, but I expect I'd like them. I like hot water bottles.
Before anyone asks,
i love heated blankets. i always have one on my bed in case of emergencies
its like having warm snuggles but all over you :3
It's cheaper than putting the heat on, that's for sure.

The Red Wings appear in their fourth home opener in five games tonight, visiting Glendale for the Phoenix Coyotes' first true home game of the season.
The Coyotes are coming off of a split of their NHL Premiere season-opening series in Prague against the Boston Bruins.
Detroit is expected to ice 17 skaters tonight, as they're too close to the cap to call up a replacement for Johan Franzen. Justin Abdelkader did take the morning skate but the team has not said whether he would be able to go tonight.
Continuing the goalie rotation used for the first four games of the season, Jimmy Howard gets the start tonight.
I have a summary of the whole game for you:You're not missing much.
Ken Kal and Paul Woods made it sound not horrible. Seemed like it might be sloppy still as it came across as pretty end-to-end.
At least we get a point?
I feel like - given Phoenix's ownership - the Wings should have one and one twenty-ninth goals counted right now. That's a win.

Baby born with tail is no evidence for evolution
CROWDS CONVERGED ON TEMPLES IN INDIA to see a baby born with a "tail" in 2001.
Many believed the boy was a reincarnated Hindu god. The boy, at one-year old when this report came out in early 2002, was named Balaji, another name for the monkey-faced god Lord Hanuman.
The Indian baby's "tail" was 10 centimeters long, and the boy was being exhibited in temples throughout India, where people paid to see him.
Indian newspaper The Tribune said the boy's grandfather showed journalists nine spots on the baby's body, which is what Lord Hanuman supposedly had.
Cases of babies with "tails" surface occasionally. A paper in The New England Journal of Medicine in 1982 by Dr. Fred Ledley was titled "Evolution and the Human Tail." But are human "tails" really evidence of evolution?
There are two types of tails involved in this discussion. The non-bony tail, and the bony tail.
Non-bony tails
This Indian baby's "tail", like so many cases of human "tails", is not a real tail. And it is not evidence of evolution. It doesn't have any bones in it, doesn't have fur like a monkey's tail, and doesn't have a nerve cord.
Also, the boy can't use it like a monkey uses its tail to wrap around branches, and it is so different from a monkey's tail that it shouldn't be called a tail at all. No monkey or ape would be proud to have this "tail", because it is useless and non-functioning.
Does this baby's tail have anything to do with the idea that humans and monkeys may be related? Not in the slightest. It is just skin and fatty tissue, and can easily be cut off.
As biologist Dr. Gary Parker once said about these fatty tumor tails: "So far as I know, no one claims we evolved from an animal with a fatty tumor at the end of its spine."
Bony tails
The second type of "tail", a rarer type, is one that has bone in it. For some strange reason, a few otherwise-intelligent evolutionists suspend their commonsense on this subject and claim that this is evidence that humans evolved from creatures with tails.
But this is like recognizing faces of your friends in clouds. You read into the facts an assumption that is not supported by the facts.
Even if every human had a bony tail a few inches long, it couldn't possibly show that humans have evolved from monkeys. That's because the existence of something is not evidence of its origin.
In August 2004 there were reports of a baby born in Cambodia with a 10-centimetre (4-inch) "tail". But at least the media reported this simply as "a spine considerably longer than normal", and did not make incorrect assertions that it had anything to do with evolution.
Abnormalities, sadly, occur in humans as well as in animals. And sometimes simple ailments such as back aches are wrongly claimed to be a result of evolution.
It is worth looking at this "tail" claim from another angle.
Evolutionists have for decades pooh-poohed anyone who says humans evolved from monkeys. They insist we evolved not from monkey-like creatures, but from ape-like creatures (they usually phrase it: "humans share a common ancestor with apes").
Did we evolve from monkeys or apes?
Monkeys generally have tails and apes don't. If evolutionists believe that the bony tail is evidence that we evolved from monkey-type creatures, why do they insist that we evolved from a common ancestor with apes, which don't have tails?
Which tailed ape is this anomaly supposed to be throwing back to anyway? If you go through the apes and alleged ape-men claimed to be in humans' evolutionary lineage, you can't find one that had a tail like this baby's appendage, because it is useless as a tail.
And isn't natural selection supposed to favor improvements, and not impediments? Why then would natural selection cause something as useful as a tail to wither into an encumbrance and then disappear?
The TalkOrigins website thinks that some "tail" abnormalities on humans are evidence of evolution, and at the time of writing they point out that there is "at least one known example of a primate tail that lacks vertebrae, as found in the rudimentary two-inch-long tail of Macaca sylvanus (the Barbary ape)".
Unfortunately, we could not find any other evolutionists who were willing to say that a tail that lacks vertebrae on a human is evidence that a Barbary ape turned into a human. And we must point out that the Barbary "ape" is actually a monkey, not an ape, and most monkeys have tails anyway. So how does it help the evolutionists' claim that ape-like creatures turned into humans by saying that a monkey has a tail?
We also could not find evidence that the Barbary macaque is considered to be closer to humanity than, say, the rhesus macaque, which has a long tail (see drawing above). But we will continue looking.
Evolutionists notoriously change their evidence to suit the occasion. So they can't blame people for treating evolution as something of a "fairy tail".
Baby born with 4 arms and 4 legs
As further evidence that evolutionists' claims about abnormalities such as baby tails have nothing to do with evolutionary throwbacks, consider the case of a girl in India who was born with 4 arms and 4 legs.
The case of Lakshmi Tatma got worldwide media attention in November 2007 when doctors successfully operated on the 2-year-old girl. (See Daily Mail article, which originally had photos, but no longer has.)
The girl was joined at the pelvis to what was, in effect, a headless, undeveloped twin.
If it suited diehard evolutionists' purposes, some would surely say this unfortunate 8-limbed girl was evidence that humans evolved from spiders. But they don't claim that, and rightly so, because everyone knows humans didn't evolve from spiders.
Baby born with 24 fingers and toes
And look at the case of a baby boy born with 24 fingers and toes, reported by the BBC and other media outlets on February 5, 2009. The boy was born in California at the Bay Area Hospital, and had 6 digits on each hand and foot.
As far as we are aware, no evolutionist has claimed this is an evolutionary throwback to a time when some creature with 24 digits was evolving into a human. That's because it doesn't suit their agenda to link a 24-digit creature with human evolution. Yet the link would be no more far-fetched than is their imaginative link to a baby with a tail.
Baby born with two heads
And take the sad case of a baby boy born in Bangladesh on August 25, 2008. He had two heads, and lived only a few days. (See photo at Telegraph.co.uk.)
The boy, named Kiron, was born from one embryo. The mother's gynecologist, Mohamad Abdul Bari, said the baby had one stomach and ate normally with his two mouths. He had one genital organ and a full normal set of limbs.
No evolutionist claimed that the boy's two heads indicated anything about evolution. Because there is no creature with two heads they can link with this baby.
Yet the "tail" abnormality is promoted by a few imaginative evolutionists as evidence that we evolved from monkeys or apes with tails.
It is nothing of the sort.
Human babies born with tails are no more evidence that humans evolved from apes or monkeys than human babies born with 8 limbs are evidence that we evolved from spiders.
For a refutation of the misleading article on "human tails" on the TalkOrigins website see the CMI article Human tails and fairy tales.

Open 7 Days a Week
Daily: 10am - 8pm
Including Holidays!
We offer emergency dental care!
for same day treatment
call (651) 686-6800
At Now Care Dental, our skilled dentists are experienced in pediatric dentistry and specialize in general dentistry for kids. Preventative care is our No. 1 priority. In our children's dentistry practice, we use the latest in dental sealant technology to protect your child's teeth—just one of the ways we help build a foundation for a lifetime of good oral health.
We recommend regular children's dental care should begin right after their third birthday. The first trip to the dentist is usually short and involves very little treatment. We will review how to clean and care for your child's teeth and make sure they are receiving adequate fluoride at home.
To help build a relationship between your child and the dentist, we may ask you to sit in the dental chair and hold your child during the examination. Or we may ask you to wait in the reception area during part of the visit.
During the first visit, we may also:
You can prepare your child for their first visit to dentist in the same way you would before their first haircut or trip to the shoe store. Review with them what the dentist will be doing during the first visit—the dentist will look in your mouth and teach you about cleaning your teeth and gums.
Here are some first visit tips:
Cavities often result from sugary food diets and a lack of brushing. Good dentistry for kids means limiting their sugar intake and encouraging them to brush regularly. The longer it takes your child to chew their food—the longer the residue stays on their teeth and the greater the chances of getting cavities.
That's because when you eat, an acid reaction occurs inside the mouth as bacteria digests the sugars. This reaction lasts about 20 minutes, during which the acid environment can destroy the tooth structure, eventually leading to cavities.
Here are some cavity prevention tips:
Baby teeth not only hold space for permanent teeth, but are critical for your child's chewing, biting, speech and appearance. For this reason, regular children's dentistry care is important for kids to maintain a daily healthy diet and good oral hygiene.
The two bottom front teeth are the first baby teeth to come into the mouth—usually when your baby is about 6–8 months old. Next are the four upper front teeth. The rest of your baby's teeth will appear periodically and usually in pairs along the sides of the jaw until the child is about two-and-a-half years old—when they should have all 20 teeth.
Between the ages of five and six, the first permanent teeth will begin to erupt. Some of the permanent teeth replace baby teeth and some don't. Don't worry if some teeth are a few months early or late as all children are different.
Dentistry for children is one of our specialties. To schedule a pediatric dentistry appointment for your child, call our Eagan-MN office at 651-686-6800. Answering services are available 24/7. Clinic hours are 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week.

On April 15, 2008, Indians manager Eric Wedge had the following to say about Joe Borowski:
"He's our closer," said Wedge. "He's proven himself to us. If he comes back and he's healthy, I suspect he'll be our closer again."
One stint on the disabled list and several blown saves later, Joe Borowski returned last night to record his first save since April 6th. Most teams would be excited to have their closer back, especially given the recent lack of production that we've seen from Jensen Lewis, Rafael Betancourt and Masa Kobayashi. But "excited" may not have been the term I would use. How about "edgy?" And I obviously wasn't alone.
Though Franklin Gutierrez is hitting at a woeful mark of .235, manager Eric Wedge decided to use his superb fielding abilities last night, in a game that started out with Ben Francisco in right and David Dellucci in left. Francisco went on to have one heck of a night at the plate, and Dellucci had a couple nice snags of his own. But almost in a fashion that would resemble Mike Brown subbing in Ben Wallace for Joe Smith at the end of a close game when the other team has the ball, Wedge called on Gutierrez to play right field – moving Francisco to left. You know, just in case we would need his bat again. The score was 5-2.
The Rangers pinch-hit Ramon Vazquez for German Duran. Vazquez worked a good count, and hit the ball fairly hard – just right at Gutierrez in right. The second batter was lead-off hitter Ian Kinsler. Kinsler then proceeded to take the ball to right-center field, but this time just shy of the warning track. A ball that would have likely been off of the wall in left had Kinsler been of the "opposite field" type. Two well-hit balls, both to Gutierrez.
Obviously, the game ended with the three-run lead in tact – dually lowering Borowski's ERA to its current state of 14.40. You know that the media is buying your abilities when the headline in the major area publication includes "Joe Lets In None." I liken this to those financial pundits who are bullish on the stock market, but are overweighting sectors like Consumer Discretionary and Utilities – typically two of the more defensive plays.
Eric Wedge can stand behind Borowski. After all, he had one heck of a season when it comes to save totals in 2007. Plus, who else is he going to defend when his bullpen has imploded over the last few weeks. But the defensive switch in right field may be one of the more overlooked parts of last night's win. In fact, while others mentioned who made the put-outs, no one has mentioned that Gutierrez wasn't there before the inning started. Obviously, it paid off given the nice plays by "Gut" (rhymes with "root"). But are Wedge's words really speaking support, or is it one of those "lesser of two (or in this case, four) evils?"
You be the judge.

Last Sunday, June 26 the Gravity Games took place at Camp Woodward in Pennsylvania. The fan attendance and press was nothing like previous Gravity Games due to the remote location, but still some of the best riders in the world showed up to try their chances at Gravity Games gold. Twitch killed it and took a silver medal in both the Freestyle and Best Trick competitions.

Another event held last Sunday, which definitely had more fans in attendance than Gravity, was the Costa Mesa Speedway Freestyle demo. A few times each Speedway season 'Rad' Brad Oxley, the former Speedway champ and current owner of Costa Mesa Speedway, invites some of the boys to come out and put on a show for the fans. This weekend it was Garland, Potter, Ox, Fluffer, Eric Woods, Taylor Sterner and Gram Gustin going big. Practice went off with out a hitch and everyone was riding sick. Ox, who's bike was having problems prior to the night show, was going for a backflip on his second jump of the night when the bike sputtered before the ramp sending him off his bike to land in the flats from 30 feet in the air. Ox suffered a compound fracture to his femur and a bruised/partly collapsed lung. He is still in the hospital recovering from surgery but will be out soon and will fully recover in a few months.

AN INTERVIEW WITH DANIEL DYER, Ph.D.
Educator and Author
Please trace the origin of your interest in Jack London.
Back in the 1950s I read The Call of the Wild — over and over — in its Classics Illustrated comic book form, and in high school — for a reason I cannot remember — I read Martin Eden in my free time in study hall. I loved that novel and believe that it was the first "serious" book I ever read on my own. Later, when I was teaching middle school, Call was in our 8th grade literature book, and I taught it with great pleasure for fifteen years or so. The more I taught it, the more interested I became in its historical background, and when I learned that my own great–grandfather had gone to the Klondike (and kept a diary), well, I was firmly hooked.
In higher education American literature studies, does London have a high "standing"?
I've not been in that world for some years, but I have no reason to believe that London has any greater presence that he ever did — i.e., a minor one. I'm not sure this will improve anytime soon, principally because he is, in many of his works, not PC — to say the least.
In teaching London's works, what do you emphasize and hope your students understand?
When I'm teaching writing, I like students to recognize the various ways they can incorporate their own experiences into fiction and nonfiction. London was a master of this. When we're reading London, I want students to explore the themes and conflicts in his stories. What do these characters want? How do they go about acquiring it? (Pretty fundamental things.)
Aside from the "He was a writer of dog stories" canard what are some of the misunderstandings about London and his works?"
I think most people are unaware of his South Seas stories. I think most people are unaware of the impressive range of his interests.
Jack London's real-life world, from the turn of the century to the First World War, seems "dated" to young readers who know nothing of the Klondike or socialism. What is there in his work to appeal to a new generation of readers?
London's best stories deal with themes and situations that will never become irrelevant. Buck's struggle to survive, to realize his destiny, to become what he must become — how can any young person not identify with that? Martin Eden's fierce struggle to achieve his own dream — and then his discovery of the emptiness of fame. . . who could not sympathize?
Are there untapped areas of London scholarship? Please give some examples of research that needs to be done.
I think a wonderful research project would be for some enterprising scholar(s) to head to the South Pacific to visit the sites of the stories and to see what is there now. Re-tracing the Snark voyage would be another great piece of research.
What are your own current areas of London research?
I've not done much since 1997. At that time I researched and wrote a young adult biography of Mary Shelley (still a-lookin' for a home with a publisher) and have begun work on Edgar Poe. I still teach London — still stay in touch with a number of scholars — still monitor the Listserv, but that's about it. Oh, and I did do some work on W. H. Chaney, discovering that his grave in Chicago is no longer marked.

A contravariant functor is like a functor but it reverses the directions of the morphisms. (Between groupoids, contravariant functors are essentially the same as functors.)
A contravariant functor from a category to a category is simply a functor from the opposite category to .
To emphasize that one means a functor as stated and not as a functor one sometimes says covariant functor for non-contravariant, for emphasis.
Equivalently, a contravariant functor from to may be thought of as a functor from to , but the version above generalises better to functors of many variables.
Also notice that while the objects of the functor category are in canonical bijection with those in the functor category (both are contravariant functors from to ), the morphisms in the two functor categories are in general different, as
This matters when discussing a natural transformation from one contravariant functor to another.
The above definition of contravariant functors as covariant functors out of (or into) the opposite category is unsatisfactory if one wishes to consider natural transformations between functors of different variance. In particular, it seems to break the -categorical structure since with the above definition covariant and contravariant functors now live as objects in different categories and inside the -category Cat of categories and covariant functors, hence whatever natural transformations between functors of different variance are, it is not -morphisms in Cat.
The correct thing to do is to define the -graded $2$-category? of categories, functors, and natural transformations.
The objects of our -category will be categories.
The -morphisms of our -category will be all functors, covariant and contravariant alike. The grading (on the -categorical part at least) is then a functor to
\mathbb Z/2 considered as one-object category, given by considering contravariant functors to be odd () and covariant functors to be even . Composition of functors is then additive on the grading (as it should be).
The -morphisms will be once again -indexed families of morphisms , but the commutative diagram they will have to satisfy for each in depends on the combination of variances of and :
It is clear that (vertical) composition of -morphisms makes sense, and that furthermore natural transformations between functors of different variance should be graded odd, while natural transformation between functors of the same variance should be graded even.
It is less clear that (but true!) that horizontal composition and whiskering also make sense. We thus have almost a (strict) -category, if it were not for the fact that the actions of whiskering by an odd functor act contravariantly on vertical composition (so horizontal composition itself does not behave as usual), so perhaps this is a slightly more general notion of a -category.
What kind of notion of -category is this? I've been using the phrase -graded -category, but this structure is not exactly a -category because of the allowed contravariance in the whiskering/horiztonal composition. –Vladimir_Sotirov
In this context, the structure of the operation becomes interesting: it is an involutive -functor that preserves grading, but reverses -morphisms, and furthermore comes equipped with natural isomorphisms (this doesn't make complete sense as we have not discussed yet how our new -category is enriched in itself, so the meaning of is not completely clear…).
As mentioned in opposite 2-category, a -category can have three different duals, depending on whether we formally flip only the -morphisms, only the -morphisms, or both. From the perspective in this article, however, it is better to say that -functors have three different kinds of contravariance (hence there are four kinds of -functors). Consequently, there should be two -graded -categories (or maybe slightly more general structures since again how horizontal composition distributes over vertical composition will depend on the associated variances:
A -graded -category of -categories, -functors of arbitrary variance, and lax natural transformations. Instead of giving each commutativity condition for the sixteen kinds of lax natural transformations, let us write down the one that a category of V-enriched categories comes equipped with: a lax natural transformation CD, where is a -functor flipping -morphisms, and is -functor flipping -morphisms, consists of an -indexed family of -morphisms in D, and for each two objects of C, an -indexed family of -morphisms , so that for every -morphism , we have the commutative diagram of -moprhisms in D:
where . is whiskering/horizontal composition. Furthermore, given composable -morphisms , the -moprhisms and are related via the formula , which says that the pasting diagram of -morphisms:
reduces to
A -graded -category of -categories, -functors of arbitrary variance, and oplax natural transformations.
Somewhat mysteriously, the category of V-enriched categories is a -category which comes with a unit enriched category and either a lax natural transformation (in the case of a monoidal structure on ), or a lax natural transformation (in the case of a closed structure on ).

NC does not allow common-law marriage, therefore you cannot enter into a common-law marriage in the state of NC. As the mother of the child you have default custodial rights to the child. You can decide to leave with the child if you wish. The father will be able to petition the court for visitation and potentially custody of the child. A court will then decide what the custody and visitation will be. A court will also assess child support against the non custodial parent.
