CINCINNATI (AP) -- Erik Keyster works in an old, round building that attracts a lot of visitors.
"People like to see things that are deadly, and people like to see things that are big, and people like to see things that are colorful," said Keyster, team leader of reptiles and amphibians at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden. So people trek into Keyster's workplace, the Reptile House, where they can see about 75 specimens, including Chinese alligators (deadly), green tree pythons (colorful), and a king cobra (big and deadly).
Here's what many visitors might not realize: The building itself is worth seeing, too.
It hasn't always been called the Reptile House -- more about that later -- but it has occupied a spot on the zoo grounds ever since founder Andrew Erkenbrecher welcomed the first visitors in 1875. Today it stands as the nation's oldest zoo building that has continuously housed animals, the zoo says. Which isn't so surprising, perhaps, given that Cincinnati has the country's second-oldest zoo, after Philadelphia.
A renovation of the structure began this year thanks to a $408,886 matching grant from the National Park Service's Save America's Treasures program. The zoo is contributing an equal amount of privately raised dollars, bringing the total project cost to $817,772.
The building will remain open while crews do exterior work, including upgrades to the roof, mortar, windows and vents, as well as new gardens. That's scheduled for completion by June. The building will be closed for interior work next winter.
"It will be a gem, not just for lovers of animals and lovers of flowers and plant life, but also for lovers of architecture," said Martin Rahe, treasurer of the zoo board and a Cincinnati Preservation Association board member.
Victorian-era visitors knew it as the Monkey House. It was built 137 years ago for $14,000.
The preservation association's executive director, Paul Muller, describes the building's style as "eclectic Moorish."
When the zoo was founded, "The reason they did these exotic styles of architecture is they were bringing the world to your neighborhood," Muller said. It only made sense that animals from around the globe would be housed in buildings with an international flavor.
Cincinnati architect James W. McLaughlin designed the gray limestone building, which has skylights encircling a dome at least 40 feet high. The interior is ringed by Corinthian columns, which at one time separated monkey cages along the inside walls.
Those stately columns might have been just an architectural warm-up for McLaughlin. He also designed the Cincinnati Art Museum, which opened in 1886.
Said Keyster: "Once in a while, while dusting off one of those decorative pillars in the lobby, you realize: They don't make buildings like this anymore."
According to a history of the zoo written by David Ehrlinger and published by the zoo in 1993, the Monkey House included several outdoor cages, including a bulbous one almost 30 feet tall.
Those cages are long gone. So, too, is the animal hospital that was part of a 1922 addition.
Monkeys moved out in 1951, and lizards, snakes and tortoises became the building's residents. Its name was changed to the Reptile House.
The building survived a 1960 vote by the zoo board to raze it, according to Joy W. Kraft's "The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden," a 2010 book in Arcadia Publishing's Images of America series. In 1975 -- the zoo's centennial anniversary -- the Reptile House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places (along with the Elephant House and a former aviary that is now the Passenger Pigeon Memorial).
The renovation will give the building -- in particular the roof, which is now white -- a look that might seem new, but in fact is not. "When we looked at historic photographs and paintings, the roof was actually red in the beginning," said director Thane Maynard.
So red it will be, which might draw more eyes to a building as worthy of attention as its residents.

There will be company on the golf course soon...
April 18 2008 09:31AM
Now granted that it is supposed to snow in Alberta this weekend—you read that right foreign Nation readers: SNOW—so there aren't too many golf-related activities going on around Edmonton these days even though the Oil aren't in the playoffs.
However, when summer (or even spring) does finally decide to arrive, there will be some dear dear friends joining the Oilers on the golf course. We don't want to jinx anything, but with the Stars leading 3–1 in their series and the Flames now trailing the Sharks 3–2, some of histories greatest monsters could be out of the playoffs soon.
We have a whole list of people we are going to mock once these series finish up. Oh it will be rich rich comedy.
I'm honestly shocked at the silence a Flames loss generates. There is absolutely no optimism. I remember when the Oil were down 2-1 against the Sharks in '06 and John Garrett predicted that the Oilers would take the next two and win the series. That's pretty ballsy... Where is John Garrett Calgary is asking.........
Thats the difference between Calgary fans and Edmonton Fans. Edmonton fans wear their ratty old Esa Tikkannen Jerseys to games, and still rock the 2006 Western Conference Championship hats. Calgary is all new Flames Jerseys, and nothing else.
Oilers fans revel in being Oilers fans. They cheer against all odds, and still celebrate old successes. Flames fans lack the same heart
The response from the locker room regarding Iggy's run in with Rich Preston has been entirely misrepresented. It is not healthy - it is not a sign of competitiveness – something is really broken in the Flames locker room. Keenan has lost the room and it is Iggy's show – although it is huge, his heart is not big enough to carry the Flames on his back.
And Phaneuf is busy being a caveman, that guy is way too much of an ass to lead the team
Go nobody is right I hope Keenan gets the axe right after the season ends

ONE of the UK's largest lighting manufacturers has expanded its production facilities in Basingstoke to meet an increase in demand for LEDs.
Luxonic Lighting, which makes light fittings and employs around 100 people, recently completed the 10-month project, costing around £750,000, by consolidating its manufacturing on to one site at its Priestley Road headquarters.
Managing director Nick Tavaré said the work required extensive re-organisation of the factory, where two mezzanine assembly areas have been installed increasing the production area by 30 per cent. The investment also included new automated equipment.
Mr Tavaré said: "Last year was a fantastic year for us in term of sales and we have seen huge increases in demand for our LED products.
"As a result, our existing manufacturing and operational facilities proved inadequate to deal with the surge in volume and we took the decision to invest in new equipment and to make improvements to our factory.
"For some time now, we've wanted to bring everything back under one roof to our Trillium House manufacturing site in Basingstoke to ensure that we provide our clients with the best service possible.
"We have built two mezzanine floors in our existing factory which will provide additional workspace and storage, together with installing a new paint plant and other site improvements."
Mr Tavaré said the project was a success, partly thanks to a financing plan that Luxonic has agreed with RBS.
The new development was financed with the assistance of a loan facility from the bank which was structured by RBS relationship director Phil Opie, who is based in Basingstoke.
RBS has refinanced Luxonic's existing loan and provided the company with an additional £250,000 funding under the banks 'Funding for Lending Scheme' (FLS) – a Government-backed scheme designed to provide SMEs with more accessible and affordable funding.
Matt Coburn, relationship manager at RBS Invoice Finance, collaborated on this deal with Mr Opie to provide additional working capital funds of £2.65million to support Luxonic in a recent significant contract deal with a major supermarket chain.
Mr Opie said: "Having worked with Luxonic Lighting for many years, we have developed a great relationship with the company and its directors.
"The business has gone from strength to strength, and we fully understood the pressures their period of growth put on the company and its production capabilities."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/12/2012 (1701 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Only two things evoke laughter: familiarity and surprise.
Judd Apatow's 2007 film Knocked Up was largely an exercise in surprise, detailing how a one-night stand between a career-oriented woman and a slacker guy becomes a transformative experience when she becomes pregnant.
This sort-of sequel puts the focus on a pair of peripheral characters from Knocked Up: Pete and Debbie (Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann), a married couple with two daughters. Befitting the more common experiences of love, marriage and planned pregnancy (more or less), it is a comedy of the familiar.
Make that sort of familiar. The milieu is contemporary Los Angeles, so expect a backdrop of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll. The film actually opens with an argument about the first two items in that inventory. While in flagrante, Pete shares the fact that he popped a Viagra, a deal-breaking mood killer for Debbie, who doesn't want to hear Pete needs any pharmaceutical help as she approaches her 40th birthday.
Pete is turning 40 too, a milestone he approaches with anxiety. He is the head of an independent record label struggling with the near-irrelevancy of the record business, especially as pertaining to his championing of over-the-hill alt-rockers such as Graham Parker (who plays himself). Financially, he is silently bearing the breadwinner burden of one who may have to sell his house to stay solvent.
Not helping, Pete's dad (Albert Brooks) reverses the roles of traditional parent-child moochery. Dad borrows money from Pete to help raise the young triplets he sired with a second wife.
Debbie runs a trendy clothing boutique, but she, too, is encountering some financial worries on her end. One of her two employees (Megan Fox and Charlyne Yi) is stealing from the till. The ridiculously hot one (Fox) is presumed guilty.
If Knocked Up got its laughs cataloguing bad male behaviour, This Is 40 is largely observational about travails of marriage coupled with the indignities of middle age, especially in a medical montage in which Pete and Debbie suffer through his-and-her checkups. She reacts to a mammogram as a medieval torture device; he is equally disturbed by the prostate exam and his doctor's breath on the back of his neck.
The ebb and flow of the relationship doesn't follow any particular rom-com plot. This is character comedy, and while it goes on too long and occasionally strays, it does benefit from a couple of strong comic performances from actors who have never been content to look pretty.
Rudd, good-looking and charming, has an admirable willingness to venture into absurdity: He's like a strange cross-pollination of Cary Grant and Harpo Marx.
Mann is an Apatow veteran of a different stripe: she's married to the director. So one must assume her character is in some ways a reflection of her own personality, and Mann bravely doubles down in her portrayal of a parent: her two daughters, Maude and Iris, are her own two daughters.
As in marriage, one must go into This Is 40 with realistic expectations. In its ponderous running time, there will be flat spots.
But there is a redeeming thread of affection and passion.
There is also wistful fantasizing about widowhood.
Other voices
Excerpts of select reviews of This Is 40:
This Is 40 is a movie that takes its creator on the longest journey he has yet made up his own ass."
-- Dana Stevens, Slate
"The film -- like his undervalued Funny People, which improves with re-watching--will play best for audiences who know what they're in for. Much like marriage, This Is 40 is somewhat formless, and it almost never hurries up. But life is improved by having the option."
-- Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice
"Stupid freaking Judd Apatow, with his stupid freaking foul-mouthed and sentimental Hobbit-length comedies, his stupid freaking insistence on not only peopling them with his old comic cronies, but his wife and cursing kids."
-- Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service
"It's 134 minutes long, and substitutes loosely related situations for plot. But a few broadly comic moments aside, This Is 40 also captures the rhythms and concerns of real life in ways that slicker Hollywood comedies don't."
-- Noel Murray, AV Club
"As the movie goes on, the laughs are fewer and farther between, and for the last 30 minutes, not only did I not laugh, I wanted it to end so I could get back to my own boring but less precious life."
-- Mary F. Pols, Time magazine
"It's the feel-bad comedy of the holiday season -- and that's what makes it good."
-- Christy Lemire, The Associated Press
"Wise, hilarious ... a tremendous document of two tired, monogamous people and their search to recapture optimism among the exhaustion."
-- Matt Pais, RedEye
"Mixing topicality and improv, Apatow rescued big-screen comedy from its lengthy wallow in the trough of dumb-and-dumber -- we have good reason to thank the guy. Until now."
-- Rick Groen, Globe & Mail

McGruder Named to Preseason All-Big 12 Team
McGruder Named to Preseason All-Big 12 Team
Oct. 4, 2012
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Senior Rodney McGruder was a unanimous selection to the Preseason All-Big 12 team released by the conference office on Thursday morning.
McGruder, who was an All-Big 12 Second Team selection in 2011-12, was one of three unanimous picks by the league's head coaches, joining Kansas' Jeff Withey and Oklahoma State's Le'Bryan Nash. The final two spots on the team went to Baylor's Pierre Jackson and Texas' Myck Kabongo. Jackson was voted as the Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year, while Oklahoma forward Amath M'Baye and Oklahoma State's Marcus Smart were the Preseason Newcomer and Freshman of the Year, respectively. Coaches are not permitted to vote for their own student-athletes.
McGruder is the first player named to the Preseason All-Big 12 Team since Jacob Pullen was named to the squad along with garnering Preseason Big 12 Player of the Year honors in 2010-11. It marks just the fourth time that a Wildcat student-athlete (Manny Dies in 1998-99, Pullen and Curtis Kelly in 2010-11) has been selected to the preseason team.
One of only three returning Big 12 players to have ranked in the Top 20 in both scoring and rebounding in 2011-12, McGruder led the Wildcats in 11 categories as a junior, including scoring (15.8 ppg.), double-figure scoring (28), field goals (188), 3-point field goals (50) and free throws (97). He already ranks 21st in school history with 1,029 points.
The Wildcats begin team practice on Friday, October 12.
The men's and women's basketball teams will hold a public scrimmage for fans on Saturday, October 27 prior to the football game with Texas Tech. A full-list of details will be announced at a later date once a football game time is set.
Season tickets are currently on sale for K-State's 18-game home schedule at Bramlage Coliseum. Tickets can be purchased in a variety of ways, including toll free at (800) 221-CATS (2287), online at www.kstatesports.com and in-person at the ticket office. Prices remain the same for 2012-13.

NY Post Hypes Fracking Over 20 Times Since January 2011, Rarely Mentions Risks
Blog ››› ››› SALVATORE COLLELUORI
The New York Post, the New York-based daily newspaper run by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., has published 21 opinion pieces on the controversial process of natural gas extraction called hydraulic fracturing (or 'fracking') since January 1, 2011.* Many of the op-eds on fracking attack Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) or "enviro-radicals" for not acting faster to cash in on the economic benefits associated with domestic drilling. In addition, the Post almost always fails to acknowledge the health and environmental risks associated with fracking -- when it does, it immediately dismisses the dangers, despite ample evidence to the contrary. For example:
The fact is, fracking has proved not only to be a fundamentally safe undertaking, it has delivered immense economic benefits to localities across America.
New York is the only state in the nation where it is not allowed -- and that needs to change.
The fear-mongering nihilism that has marked the debate so far needs to end - and, at the very least, it's up to Cuomo to accelerate the current review.
And here:
Indeed, not only would New York become a major new source of relatively clean energy - natural gas; the move is also sure to spawn a whole new industry for economically sclerotic Upstate, generating thousands of jobs.
That's what's happened elsewhere in the country where fracking is allowed - including, notably, neighboring Pennsylvania, where tens of thousands of workers have found jobs at companies that employ the process.
Alas, in New York, enviro-radicals got then-Gov. David Paterson to ban the process, pending further study.
They claim that fracking can taint drinking water. Hyperbolic media reports and films like the pseudo-documentary "Gaslands" further fueled public fears.
Yes, there have been fracking accidents -- but no lasting damage, and no harm has been done to water supplies.
Contrary to the Post's assertions, there have been a host of environmental problems associated with fracking. Wyoming is dealing with both groundwater contamination and air pollution, Ohio and Oklahoma have seen earthquakes potentially associated with fracking, and groundwater contamination has affected wells in Pennsylvania and other areas around fracking wells.
The Post also gets its facts wrong when it comes to states that have banned fracking. In Feburary, New Jersey's Republican Governor Chris Christie imposed a one-year ban on the practice in New Jersey, stating, "Potential environmental concerns with fracking in our state must be studied and weighed carefully against the potential benefits of increasing access to natural gas in New Jersey."
As Media Matters has previously noted, in their fervor to promote fracking, the Post has even gone so far as to hide the industry funding of fracking studies in their editorials.
* The Media Matters analysis was conducted by doing a Nexis search for the terms "hydraulic fracturing" or "fracking" and analyzing the number of times one or both of those terms was used in an opinion piece published by the Post.

FT: 2010 Harley 48 - Customized (For Trade?)
2010 Harley 48 (Sportster)
Mileage: 1000
I bought the bike for my 29th birthday with plans to customize it and go on a ride for my 30th birthday down the coast with some friends.
Took it down to the frame, had every part (except the frame) powder coated matte black with gloss black pinstripes.
Had all the sheet metal custom painted with matte black and candy apple-sh red scallops.
Had custom (only harley 48 that I know of as I worked with ride wright to develop them) Ride-Wright Candy Apple-ish Fat 50 Wheels made.
Custom machined and powdercoated hand grips in matching red.
Custom painted harley cold air intake (can't remember what harley calls this). Including air brushing on the end cap.
Custom painted (and my favorite touch) skull gas cap in matching red with air brushed accents (wish I had a good picture of this).
Swapped to stand alone thundermax ecu.
Drag bars
Custom led blinkers and smoked housings.
Custom side mount license plate
Vance and hines exhaust (short shot I think)
Progressive springs in the front
Progressive shocks in the rear
Tons of other parts including another custom painted to match 'king peanut' tank that's like 3 gallons instead of 2 gallons.
Tons of other custom stuff done to the bike, ridden maybe 3 or 4 times. Most of the mileage was put on in 2011 when I took it down the coast and back up.
If i had to guess with labor, parts, paint, and cost of the bike (First Harley 48 in Northern California) I've probably got $25k or so into it.
Bike has ALWAYS been garaged, never seen rain, and is literally absolutely 100% mint condition.
(can take more photos if requested, this is all i could find on my computer at the moment)
Would trade for E46 M3. Gutted, high mileage, tracked, blown motor or not.. show me your trades if interested.
If not it will likely just continue to sit in my warehouse. I crashed my supermoto into a tree and had to have a bunch of surgery's on my clavicle and hand and now riding this bike is just to hard on me. Not interested in trading for another bike, I have no interest in riding bikes anymore. I've sold all the others but hung on to this one because I thought if I was to ride a bike again, this would be it.. it turns heads at every stop light and gets a TON of attention.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office is investigating after police said an officer was attacked at a downtown bus stop Friday morning.
Police said 48-year-old Randall Bavle walked up behind an off-duty officer, V. McMillan, at a bus stop on West State Street across from the Florida State College at Jacksonville downtown campus about 9 a.m. and tried to stab him with a small kitchen knife.
McMillan was standing on the west side of the JTA terminal at 201 Union St. watching the bus/pedestrian traffic at the station. He had his full uniform on and was working for the Jacksonville Transportation Authority at the time.
JSO Sgt. A. Webb said he noticed Bavle walk up behind McMillan and begin to stab at the officer's back with a knife in an overhand motion.
Webb reacted by pushing McMillan aside as he shouted, police said. They said Webb then stunned Bavle with a Taser, and the two officers then arrested him.
A witness told police while he was standing by Webb and McMillan, he heard Webb yell, "Watch out!" He witnessed as Webb pushed the other officer aside. The witness said he looked over and noticed the suspect stabbing McMillan from behind, and the witness stepped aside and saw Webb deploy his Taser.
Another witness told police that he was sitting on the bench waiting for his bus when he saw the suspect walk up behind the officer and start trying to stab him in the back.
McMillan said while he was standing, he could feel the impact of something or someone hitting him on the back. He said it felt like the impacts were hitting him on the top part of his protective bulletproof vest, which is why at first he wasn't sure what it was. He said that when Webb pushed him aside, he realized that the suspect had been striking him in the back with a knife.
The suspect later told a paramedic on the scene, "I wanted the cop to kill me," according to police.
After viewing surveillance, police said it appears the Bavle stalked the officer prior to the stabbing, waiting for the right time to stab him.
McMillan was not injured.
Sgt. Dinardo Robinson said he believes Webb did the right thing.
"The sergeant used good restraint, because it is crowded, so that was a good judgment call, in my opinion, for the officer to have," Robinson said.
Bavle was charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer. He was recently released from prison after serving time for armed robbery.
Bavle was taken to a hospital for evaluation, then was to be released into police custody. Police believe he may have mental issues.

Pandemic Flu
Pandemic Flu - Vaccine
My husband has a friend who received a swine flu vaccine in the mid 1970s, had a reaction to it, and to this day the friend has a problem walking. As a result, my husband is not interested in having us vaccinate our children with this new swine flu - H1N1- vaccine, as he thinks the risk is too high for other complications. Are the vaccines from the 1970s and the one to be released later this fall the same? If not, how safe can we feel as parents that the latest vaccine which is seemingly being rushed through the clinical trial process in order to protect the population as soon as possible is being adequately tested to protect our children and won`t have side effects which could be a greater problem than the flu itself?
The vaccines from the 1970s and the H1N1 vaccines to be released later this fall are not the same. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is especially recommending H1N1 influenza vaccine for pregnant women, people who live with or care for children younger than 6 months of age, healthcare and emergency medical services personnel, persons between the ages of 6 months and 24 years old, and people ages 25 through 64 years of age who are at higher risk for novel H1N1 because of chronic health disorders or compromised immune systems. Although no medication is 100% safe, the H1N1 vaccine is expected to prevent H1N1 influenza in most vaccine recipients without causing severe side effects. You are correct that many cases of the H1N1 influenza to date have been mild. It appears that when the H1N1 influenza causes pneumonia, severe illness and deaths have occurred.

I am responsible for me.
This means first that I must act in a way that is responsible for myself. Live out the consequences of my choices without needlessly burdening others. Other have their own troubles and their own responsibilities. When we each who are capable live in this way we both free others to do the same and free ourselves to be more able to help those who truly are needy.
It is a paradox that those who are most self-sufficient are those most capable of helping those who are not.
Existing social structures are each responsible in turn: Family follows the self, then friends, then community and civic/social groups, then local government, then state government, then federal government. This does not mean the federal government is the ultimate authority. It means that the federal government is only authority when and in circumstances where all other levels have either failed, abdicated, or are incapable on sufficient scale to bear any given responsibility. This is the same for each succeeding layer of responsibility: Family is only responsible for that which the individual is not capable of being responsible for. An infant is capable of very little in themselves, so the family is responsible for them, but the family is also responsible for raising that infant to take responsibility to the utmost of it's capability. When the family fails, or a situation gets beyond, or is beyond, the family's capability, greater numbers of involved and invested and capable people, friends that is, then share in the responsibility. This does not have to be only in serious situations, it could be when children go off to play together at each others houses, friends share in responsibilities to the benefit of all. Then communities such as churches, clubs, social circles and the like, to which we have voluntarily joined ourselves, bear a certain level of responsibility.
You can see the graduating layers as each successive level bears some responsibility innately and then gains certain responsibility based on specific situations and circumstances. The way to visualize this is as a pyramid: The individual has ultimate responsibility, that is, first and last. While others may become responsible at different times and in different situations, the individual has first responsibility and will answer at the end for all that pertains to them whether others were involved or not. Each successive and broadening layer then goes down, not up, in authority over the individual and over each successive layer. This leaves federal government not as the ultimate responsible party but as the last responsible party. In some ways this last position equates with "least". It is last in priority, and therefore has least priority in the layers that stand above it. It is not a foundational position either. The foundational responsibility can only belong to something outside, something not us. God does not form a layer below the federal government, God forms the all-encompassing framework inside which the entire pyramid exists.
The second outcome of self-responsibility is that each successive layer of responsibility ought to generally, as a matter of course, act in a way that is not-responsible towards those layers that are above it in priority. Family only takes responsibility for the individual when and where that individual is incapable of being self-responsible. Friends, only when and where the family is beyond it's capability. And so on. The various layers of government ought only bear that responsibility for which all other layers are incapable or not suited. This does not mean that each successive layer out to act antagonistically to those layers above it in responsibility, but ought instead to build up each layer in order that those other layers are MORE capable, and so that responsibility only falls upon the lower layers when all else has failed. In other words, the family ought to build up the individual so that the family is less necessary, and less likely to be called upon to support that individual as it matures and takes on more responsibility for itself. The friends ought to build up the family and the individual in the same way, and the community ought to do the same for the friends and the family and the individual, and so on. This structure of reinforced and supported and encouraged responsibility results in the strongest communities, the strongest families, the strongest nations, because each individual and each successive layer of responsibility is invest in those that take priority above it, and as each successive layer is made as strong as it can, the entire structure can bear much weight and stress in times where responsibility increases or situations change for any given layer.
The federal government, then, ought to be primarily invested not in centralizing responsibility, authority, and power to itself, but instead in divesting authority. Not delegating, for that implies that it retains ultimate responsibility and is superior to those layers which are in fact superior to it. But divesting authority, actually giving it away (or, more realistically, having it taken away) to those layers which it ought to instead be supporting and reinforcing so that they are able and capable of bearing more and more responsibility and authority.

Matches Postponed Due to Inclement Weather
MELBOURNE, Fla. – Storms throughout the Central Florida area on Saturday forced a number of events to be postponed, including the men's and women's tennis matches at Florida Tech.

Hey guys I am getting a set of fins for swimming season this winter but I also need fins for bodyboarding during the summer. Will they work for both? The yellow and blue churchills

Hey guys I am getting a set of fins for swimming season this winter but I also need fins for bodyboarding during the summer. Will they work for both? The yellow and blue churchills
I hear they are good for bodyboarding. Aussies definatley love them. Although i still stick with vipers (originals). I dont know about swimming.
Go with DaFin they are the best i have found for both sports. They are the official Lifeguard Association surf fin
check them out http://www.dafin.com/v/index.html
i have a set of church hills for body surfing and i love them but they are heavy, Dafin is a great fin as liquid said, also vipers are nice, very comfortable...
I just bought a pair of Churchills a few weeks back. I ripped one already on some reef rock and one got ripped off last week in some heavy whitewater. I grew up wearing Churchill and I'm not sure I will get another pair. Nothing has lasted as long as my Bluntcuts.
+1 for Vipers
You should get a separate set of fins for swim practice. I used mostly those medium length rubber fins with a closed heel foot pocket (rather than heel strap). FINIS or Speedo ones would work fine. The advantages they offer for pool training over something like a Churchill Makapuu are that they flex better for pushing off walls, they don't flare out like a dolphin tail, so they don't catch on the laneline during circle swimming, and they have greater surface area so they will build more strength and flexibility in your quads and ankles. If money were no consideration, you might look at Force Fins - I tried these once and they remain the most comfortable fin I've ever tried, but they cost about 300% of what I would ever spend on fins. For bodyboarding, I like my Churchill Makapuus. They are shorter, stiffer and require a higher kick-turnover than the training fins, but offer more agility and control in surf. You don't need that agility for cranking out yardage and you will sacrifice speed if you train with surf fins.
Hair Play Products
my go to bodyboard fins are the custom x "x"fins. tere decntly cheap and very comfortable for the price. but just like alot of the others i have no idea on the swimming aspect of them

Order This, Not That: IHOPby Dana Angelo White in Dining Out, January 21, 2012
My college roommate worked at IHOP and I'll never forget the stench of grease and syrup that followed her home after every shift. This breakfast-centered chain has been making a comeback – and while their menu offerings go beyond eggs and pancakes, is there anything sensible to order?
Order: "Simple" and Small
The nutrition guide for this restaurant will make you dizzy (and maybe a little nauseous). So many choices and virtually NO healthy ones!
In 2010, IHOP launched "Simple & Fit" menu items, which have under 600 calories per serving. Their website also offers calorie-saving tips like skipping butter, whipped cream and sugary sodas with your meal. Six hundred calories sure does seem high but when you see how many calories are in many of their other dishes, it's the best you're going to do.
Simple & Fit omelets are served with fresh fruit and weigh in at 320 to 420 calories and 10 to 20 grams of per serving. The Simple and Fit Whole Wheat French Toast is a decent option at 490 calories.
If you're in this for the pancakes, your only option should be an Original Short Stack – but that'll still stack up the calories and fat with 490 calories, 18 grams of fat, 1 gram of trans fat per serving (not including the 50-calorie-per-tablespoon syrup).
Not: "Country," Combos or Salads
A Country Omelet may sound harmless but is anything but with 1140 calories and a jaw-dropping 80 grams of fat, 870 milligrams of cholesterol and 2060 milligrams of sodium. Keep in mind that these belly-busting numbers don't include the side orders of pancakes, breakfast meat and hash browns that are also offered with your meal.
The menu goes on to list dozens of heavy, fat-laden combo platters of eggs, pancakes and meat all totaling more than 1100 calories and 60 grams of fat each.
An Original Stack of buttermilk pancakes slaps on 880 calories 50 grams of fat and 1 grams of trans fat. That's more than 75- percent of your fat needs for the entire day (not to mention the trans fat which the USDA guidelines recommend avoiding completely).
Harvest Grain 'N Nut pancakes may sound healthier but pass on those too – they have considerably more fat and calories than the buttermilk variety.
Don't be fooled into thinking that a salad would be a healthy alternative – all the entrée salads on the menu pack in nearly 800 calories and up.
Bottom Line: Proceed with caution at this breakfast hot spot!

SOUTHGATE, Mich. - The Southgate School District is quickly making security changes following Thursday's suicide of 13-year-old Tyler Nichols who shot and killed himself in the bathroom of Davidson Middle School.
WATCH: Students struggle to understand school suicide
Teachers will search backpacks. Student will have to carry books outside of a bag. Wearing bulky clothes is banned.
Schools across the area are making some of the same changes in hopes of avoiding another young life getting taken away too soon.
Remembering Tyler
More than 400 students, family and friends crowded around Southgate Anderson High school Thursday night in honor of Tyler Nichols.
The mourners did a lap around the school to honor Tyler before gathering on the front lawn of the high school for a prayer. Soon after the prayer was complete, Amber Sorich, Nichols' sister, came forward to thank everyone for showing their support.
More: Student commits suicide at Southgate's Davidson Middle School
"I just want to thank everyone for supporting us and being there for us during this tragedy," Sorich told the crowd.
The entire education community in Southgate is heartsick over what has happened. Fellow middle school students can't understand why Nichols felt so isolated and so depressed.

Hi All,
I'm new to posting in this forum but I've read some of the post made recently, thought I'd say hello.
The subject of wisdom is important to me, it's somewhat of a paradox although, it seems to understand the absolute the path is subjective rather than objective. To find wisdom one needs to deconstruct their own thoughts "things" no understand "no-thing", which brings to mind the subject-object relationship.
This forum caught my eye due to it's discussion of masculine and feminine in relation to wisdom.
I was listening to a audio presentation associated with this website which discussed how men and women have a different "inner life", I was wondering if any members on this board and further elaborate on this point.
Apologies if I don't respond right away as it's quite late in my part of the world, but I would really like to hear your opinions.

BURLINGAME, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 14, 2012) - Jobvite, the leading recruiting platform for the social web, today announced its participation in Facebook's new free Social Jobs Partnership application (SJP app). Powered by Jobvite and other developers already listing jobs on Facebook, the SJP app aggregates more than 1.7 Million jobs into a single, user-friendly tool for job hunters.
By participating in the Social Jobs Partnership, Jobvite provides anyone on Facebook with instant access to the 29,000+ open job listings from its customers. Jobvite, which also has its own Facebook application, allows job seekers to apply directly within Facebook to its listings, making it a streamlined system for finding and applying to new opportunities.
"Social recruiting and social job seeking are standard practice in today's job market -- and Facebook has become one of the primary social destinations. Jobvite research shows over half of all companies now recruit through Facebook," said Dan Finnigan, President & CEO, Jobvite. "As the pioneers of social recruiting, Jobvite is pleased to help our customers reach top talent through the Social Jobs Partnership. The Social Jobs Partnership is a major step forward in connecting employers and job seekers to help get Americans back to work."
Social Jobs Partnership App Benefits for Job Seekers & Recruiters:
- Job seekers can see an aggregate of more than 1.7 million US-based jobs from Jobvite and others.
- Users can sort, filter and search by keyword, location (zip code, city or state), industry and type of work.
- Jobvite's participation offers a streamlined method of searching, applying and sharing for open positions by allowing users to quickly look through listings, apply within the platform and "Like" or "Send" to friends via their Facebook profile.
- Recruiters using Jobvite will expand their audience reach and be able to place ads for open employment opportunities within the Facebook application.
According to findings from Jobvite's 2012 Social Recruiting Survey, 92 percent of U.S. companies use social networks and media to find candidates. Jobvite's 2011 Social Job Seeker Survey also found 48 percent of all job seekers (63 percent of those with a Facebook profile) have done at least one social job hunting activity on Facebook in the last year. One in five job seekers added professional information to their Facebook profile in the past year, and 18.4 Million Americans credit Facebook as a source that led to their current job.
"Facebook is all about connecting people and we're thrilled to see developers leveraging our platform to connect job seekers and prospective employers," said Marne Levine, Facebook's Vice President for Global Public Policy. "By allowing job seekers to view and share job openings based on personalized criteria, like location and industry, the Social Jobs Application builds on our broader effort to help people use social media to find jobs in the US."
Facebook has seen major recruiting adoption growth in the past year, and according to a recent study conducted by NACE, on behalf of the Social Jobs Partnership, employers were surveyed about their use of Facebook in the talent acquisition process. The research found that:
- Half of employers (50 percent) are currently using Facebook in their hiring process
- Nearly 90 percent of companies stated Facebook has decreased the amount of print advertising required for recruiting efforts, making Facebook a cost-effective way to find new talent
The Social Jobs Partnership is a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Labor, the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE), the Direct Employers Association (DE), the National Association of State Workforce Agencies (NASWA), Facebook and developers.
The SJP app can be found in the resources section of the Social Jobs Partnership page, and directly on Facebook. For more information on Jobvite, please visit www.jobvite.com.

"These magnets are AWESOME, and so adorable!! I could not be happier!!! I custom designed 65 Save the Date Magnets on a SUNDAY, submitted for Designer Review and had the Final Approval a few hours later. ON A SUNDAY!! THAT is GREAT customer service!! They had it printed the very next day and on FedEx by Monday night. I received the package in a box in bubble wrap in cute little black boxes by Wednesday evening with expedited shipping. AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!"
"I customized this save the date with my own photos, wedding date, and color. I used the design for magnets, and the quality was absolutely flawless! I'm so happy with my magnets!"
"At first I was a little skeptical buying magnets...I was worried about the size and print quality. Boy, was I wrong! These magnets are beautiful! They are just the right size and the print quality was excellent! I also received them way sooner than I expected. I definitely recommend!"
"I am thoroughly pleased with my save the date magnet!! I loved the design of this, but I only wanted one picture so I just used the same picture twice and lined them up. I also chose one of the custom colors (Baroque) and I added an extra line to include my wedding website so it took two design requests, but I heard back from the designer right away and they did exactly what I had asked! Not only did they look wonderful, but they also arrived a few days before the original estimate and the magnet works really well too. I love them!"
"I loved the magnet we chose, we were able to have two pictures that fit well . The size of the magnet is relatively small so I would recommend sticking to one or two pictures, or they will be tiny. We also have a wedding website that didn't fit on the card when I tried, but weddingpaperdivas made it fit! I can't wait to send out our save the dates this weekend to all of our guests!! So happy with the quality and turnaround time. I will be ordering our invitations from here without a doubt!"

A/C 42-30010 Shot Down 6-Sept-1943
6 September 1943 — Abbeville, France
VIII Bomber Command mount their largest bombing mission to date. 338 B-17's dispatched against aircraft industry targets in Stuttgart. Losses amounted to 45 B-17's. Not all losses were from combat damage, many ditched in the North sea due to fuel depletion.
Lt George Francis was flying with his regular crew on this mission. He had been assigned to the "Asher" (Pilot) Crew as Navigator, on AC 42-30010, markings PY X of the 407th Bomb Squadron. The AC was attacked by fighters on the way in to the target at Stuttgart Germany. Between Abbeville, France and Amiens France. The AC fell from formation with FW-190's following it's decent. The AC was seen to explode, most likely from a cannon round hitting the bomb load. Three parachutes were seen by eyewitness's that were members of other crews. The three crew members that managed to exit the AC prior to the explosion landed to the southeast of Abbeville, 2 were captured and interred as POW's. One Evaded and returned to duty (Pfannebecker, Radio Op). The three survivors were Wilson (L waist), Plyer (Tail) and Pfannebecker (Radio Op). Enemy fighter opposition was savage and sustained. Battle damage was severe, three 92nd BG Aircraft went down over the continent. Other AC returned damaged and some crash landed in England.

Here's your blank canvas for discussing the all-star fantasy draft tonight (8 p.m. on Versus). The NHL Network will do a pre-draft show starting right now (6 p.m.).
The NHL announced this afternoon that the coaches have been designated teams.
Joel Quenneville of the Chicago Blackhawks and his assistant, Mike Haviland, were assigned to coach Team Staal — captained by Eric Staal of the All-Star host Carolina Hurricanes.
Peter Laviolette of the Philadelphia Flyers and Alain Vigneault of the Vancouver Canucks will coach Team Lidstrom — captained by Nicklas Lidstrom of the Detroit Red Wings.
I'll put up special edition "Go Times" for the skills competition and the all-star game the next two days.

The DiamondSituation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
A rich old lady died and left all her money to her grandchildren and her children. At the end of the will she stated that she had one last thing to give away: her precious diamond. She gave a clue to where it might be. She said "it's in a cylinder surrounded by a thousand squares." One grandchild said, "I know where it is," and found it. Where was it?

Jimi wallet
These wallets are made of recyclable materials, are extremely sturdy, and simple to use. It may not be the most stylish material or design, but some man-friends don't really go for that stuff. They go for simplicity and this wallet definitely is simple. You don't even have to tell them it's recyclable.

Topic: Concerns about tumor markers
I was recently diagnosed with PSC and subsequent CC. A tumor was not found, just some abnormal cells that were malignant. I have since completed the 3 week radiation/ chemo treatment protocol here at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fl, had imaging studies and was put on the liver transplant waiting list a little more than three weeks ago. I am taking Xeloda daily up until when I am called for transplant.
Since then I have had blood work done and my CA-19 tumor marker was elevated to 101. My oncologist told me that it was not necessarily reflective of the cancer and could be due to the radiation treatments I received. He also said tumor size is considered to be more important than tumor markers.
If my tumor markers remain elevated they will have to intensify my chemo. I was wondering if anyone has had similar experiences? I am just worried that time could possibly become a negative factor while I am waiting for transplant, but the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville has shown good success transplanting patients in a timely fashion.
Is any of this cause for concern?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In split-brain patients, the corpus callosum, which connects the left and right hemispheres of the cerebral cortex, has been surgical severed. This surgery is performed very rarely to help control severe epilepsy.
By studying these patients, Dr. Roger Sperry made some remarkable discoveries about the human brain, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1981. What he found was that consciousness exists independently in the two different hemispheres and that the two sides can operated independently. The left side of the brain contains the speech center and can express itself verbally and logically, while the right side of the brain is more visually oriented.
In one of the experiments, an object was shown to the left visual field (which connects to the right side of the brain). Because the right hemisphere cannot process language, the patient was unable to say what the object was. However, they were able to pick up the matching object with their left hand. This is because the right hemisphere of the brain knew what the object was and could tell the left hand to pick it up, it just couldn't express it with language.

Bevin is on the front page of today's edition of the Rancho Cordova Grapevine Independent newspaper!!!!
I contacted the editor on the 9th of this month to see if they would do an article about our recycling drive and she said they could…I didn't realize they were going to do it that quickly or that she would be on the FRONT PAGE! J
It hasn't been posted on the website yet, so you have to pick up an actual copy to read it (or be able to read extremely small writing so you can read it in the below picture), but I will post the link as soon as the online version is available. But if you do happen to be local, please be sure to pick up a copy!
Okay, I may have gone a little overboard…

From time to time guests arrive late in the evening at the American Guest House, our charming accommodation in Washington DC. Often they have just flown in from somewhere far away and are quite hungry. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of late night restaurants in Dupont Circle, but there is one great spot that's close to our lovely inn in DC and that's the Kramerbooks Afterwords Cafe. They are open until from 7am until 1am daily. Not only does their tasty dinner menu run until 12:45, their bar is hopping with orders for coffee and cocktails until close. They have outdoor seating as well as an indoor dining area, which is separate from the bookstore and cafe/bar.
If you're arriving to town late, you should definitely consider us when you're deciding where to stay when visiting Washington DC, so we can treat you to a stellar DC breakfast after Kramerbooks Afterwords Cafe takes care of your late night nibble needs.

Sea of Galilee
Here's a photo diary of the day and a half I spent there doing something I rarely do - camping.
I am a city girl. Camping for me is VERY new.
There were bugs, it was very dirty, and there were no showers. It's just you (the people you are with), and the earth.
Just a few tips from my new experience: bug spray is a must, make sure you love the people you are going with - nothing sucks more then getting stuck with people you dislike even a bit, Evian facial water spray will save your life especially if there are no showers, wearing brighter colours and fun prints look amazing in contrast to the surroundings, bring boots even if it's summer, staying hydrated is the most important thing, wear sunscreen also when in the shade of the trees - I got burnt sitting in that 'shade', don't forget to pay attention to the smallest details nature has to offer such as tiny clam shells.
Now, a bit on the Sea of Galilee - aka the Kinneret. It's located in the northeastern corner of Israel, it's very much below sea level, it's connected to the Jordan River, and it's a fresh water lake surrounded by the Golan Heights and the city of Tiberias. It's also got quite stunning views.
No, this experience was not perfect. But now I feel like I have to camp again.
I am already planning on heading to the Dead Sea when the weather cools down a bit :)
Though yes, this was one hell of a way to celebrate my 19th birthday - thanks for all the wishes!!!
Love you all, hope you enjoy this photo diary/personal post xx

I'm also a serious city girl and my idea of camping involves running water and professional catering but I have to admit that this looks utterly divine. Sadly if I attempted to do the same thing in England I would probably develop pneumonia. Yet another reason to emigrate, hey? Lovely post and v cute sunglasses. XReplyDelete

Praise for Powell from Tennessee linemen
Published: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 4:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 4:54 p.m.
HOOVER, Ala. — Ronald Powell is not at SEC Media Days but he certainly received a lot of love Wednesday.
Photo Galleries
Two Tennessee offensive tackles — senior Ja'Wuan James and junior Antonio "Tiny" Richardson — mentioned the Florida defender when they were asked about defensive ends in the SEC.
Powell hasn't played since 2011 after tearing his ACL the following spring.
"The guys I look forward to playing against are Jadeveon Clowney and Ronald Powell," said Richardson.
Richardson dominated Clowney in last year's game except for one sack that Richardson watches every week to get motivated. Clowney is considered the best defensive end in the nation and probable No. 1 pick in the NFL Draft.
But Powell?
"He's a great player," Richardson said. "I think a lot of people went to sleep on him because he tore his ACL, but I think he's going to have a great season. He's one of the guys I'm excited to play against."
When asked about the best defensive ends he's gone up against, James offered up Clowney, LSU's Barkevious Mingo and Powell.
"Ronald Powell, he's going to bounce back," James said.
Powell was considered one of the top prospects in the nation when he signed with Florida and led the team with six sacks in 2011. Coaches raved about how well he was playing in the spring of 2012 when he hurt his knee in the spring game.
The Buck linebacker was supposed to get back onto the field sometime during the 2012 season, but had a setback with his knee and was shut down.
Powell had an impact on the two games he played against Tennessee. In 2010, he had a sack, and in 2011 he had a half sack and two quarterback hurries.
Plus, Tennessee's players probably have Florida on their minds because of their eight-game losing streak to the Gators. Florida hasn't lost to the Vols since Ron Zook was the coach.
New coach Butch Jones knows that one step he needs to take is to find a way to beat the Gators. The two teams play in The Swamp on Sept. 21 on CBS.
"I hear it all the time," Jones said. "I'm reminded of that quite a bit. For us to make those rivalry games, we have to become relevant and win those games."
Florida has won the eight straight games by a combined score of 250-126.
"We go in expecting to win every year," Richardson said. "It's very important. We have a lot of rivals, but they're our biggest one."
