Unit 3 Ecology
Chapter 22 Ecosystems and Biomes
"We abuse land because we regard it as a commodity belonging to us.
When we see land as a community to which we belong, we may begin to use it with love and respect."
- Aldo Leopold, Sand County Almanac

The President is embarking on a worldwide tour of diverse biomes. Since he is such a busy man, he needs you to provide him with a dossier on the biomes he is scheduled to visit. You must provide him with background information on the biome as well as any environmental issues concerning the biome. The President wants to know if there is anything that can be done to curtail these problems in the future. Be sure to give him some of your ideas. You and your staff will separate into five research teams and each team will research one of the following biomes
|All About Nature: Biomes-Habitats The Earth has many different environments, varying in temperature, moisture, light, and many other factors. Each of these habitats has distinct life forms living in it, forming complex communities of interdependent organisms. A complex community of plants and animals in a region and a climate is called a biome.
|Introduction to Biomes Biomes are the major regional groupings of plants and animals discernible at a global scale. Their distribution patterns are strongly correlated with regional climate patterns and identified according to the climax vegetation type. However, a biome is composed not only of the climax vegetation, but also of associated successional communities, persistent subclimax communities, fauna, and soils. Maps and pictures of biomes and plants.

|Investigate the Coniferous Forest & Taiga Biomes The Coniferous Forest stretches across a large portion of Canada, Europe and Asia. It is the largest biome in the world. Winters are cold. Summers are warm. Lots of conifers grow here.
|Animals of the Temperate Deciduous Forest Temperate deciduous forests are forests in cool, rainy areas; they have trees that lose their leaves in Fall and regrow them in Spring. Temperate deciduous forests are found in the middle latitudes around the globe and have four distinct seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. In the Northern Hemisphere, these forests are found in North America, Europe, and Asia. In the Southern Hemisphere, there are smaller areas of these forests, in South America, Africa, and Australia. The growing season in these forests is about 6 months long.
|Investigate the Deciduous Temperate Forest The Temperate Deciduous Forest has four seasons of winter, spring, summer, and fall. Animals and plants have special adaptations to cope with these yearly changes.

|Investigate Freshwater Ecosystems You'll find a wide variety of animal life in or around fresh water ecosystems...aquatic birds... amphibians..mammals and of course, a wide variety of fish.
|Pond Animals Ponds are teeming with both animal and plant life. Some animals live in the water (fish, crayfish, tadpoles, etc.), some live above the water (ducks, insects, etc.), and others live in the area surrounding the pond (raccoons, earthworms, etc.).
|African Savanna 44 page lesson plan K-2 nice savanna picture to color or use as a project background. Includes index of animals.
|America's Lost landscape: The Tall Grass Prairie The North American grassland began about 23-25 million years ago during the Tertiary Period, marking the beginning of the Miocene Epoch, with the second uplift of the Rocky Mountains.
|Animals of the Prairie A prairie is a temperate grassland, plains of grass that get hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Most of the interior of North America was a prairie before European settlement radically altered the environment with agriculture. Even now, the prairie is a large area. The animals that live in prairies have adapted to a semi-arid, windy environment with few trees or shrubs. They can also withstand a great range in temperature, from well below freezing in the winter to sweltering heat in the summer.
|Animals of the Savanna A savanna is a hot, seasonally dry grassland with scattered trees. This environment is intermediate between a grassland and a forest. Savannas are located in the dry tropics and the subtropics, often bordering a rainforest. Savannas have an extended dry season and a rainy season. The animals that live in savannas have adapted to a great deal of variability in the food supply throughout the year; there are times of plenty (during and after the wet season) and times of almost no food or water (during the dry season). Many savanna animals migrate to deal with this problem.
|Build A Praire Are you up for the challenge? If you choose the right plants and animals, you can watch the prairie come to life before your eyes!
|Grasslands Go and explore an Enchanted Learning Site. A grassland is a grassy, windy, partly-dry biome, a sea of grass. Almost one-fourth of the Earth's land area is grassland. In many areas, grasslands separate forests from deserts. Deep-rooted grasses dominate the flora in a grassland; there are very few trees and shrubs in a grassland, less than one tree per acre. There are many different words for grassland environments around the world, including savannas, pampas, campos, plains, steppes, prairies and veldts.
|Illinois Praire Page French explorers and trappers, upon viewing the extensive grasslands of mid-America for the first time, called them "prairie." Their word had the meaning of a natural meadow. Prairie is a vegetative community dominated by native grasses and featuring many colorful flowers.
|Introduction to Exploring the Praire What was Iowa like 150 years ago?
|Investigate Grassland Biomes Did you know that Grasslands are found on every continent except Antarctica?
|Northern Praire Biological Resources Information on the biotic resources of the Great Plains.
|Praires: Rediscovering a Fragile Frontier Contains an overview of the many endangered plants and animals that once inhabited the tallgrass prairie, the continent's largest connected ecosystem.
|Praire Links The following is a list of some of the resources that are available to prairie enthusiasts on the Internet.
|Tall Grass Praire in Illinois "The Prairie State" is a frequently used nickname for Illinois, yet few people know what a prairie is or have ever visited one. At the same time, there is a growing awareness of prairies. Prairies are an important part of this state's heritage, and in the past few years there have been numerous conferences, radio programs, popular articles, books and scientific papers on prairies. This article provides an introduction to the fascinating world of prairies.

It has an easy-to-use structure that allows readers to start at a basic level on each topic, and then to progress to more advanced information as desired.
|Animals of the Arctic The world has many different animals. In the Arctic we have many animals that are unique to the north that we would like to tell you about. We have chosen some of the most unique arctic animals there are.
|Arctic The Arctic is a very cold, windy, and often snowy biome located around the North Pole. When referring to the Arctic, people usually mean the part of the earth within the Arctic Circle (an imaginary circle around the Earth, parallel to the Equator and 23 degrees 28 minutes from the North Pole, that is, above about 75 degrees North Latitude). Although there is no land at the North Pole, the icy Arctic Ocean is teeming with life ranging from the microscopic (like zooplankton) to the huge (like whales).
|Investigate the Tundra Biome How cold is cold? The Tundra Biome is at the top of the world -- around the North Pole!
|Tundra Enchanted Learning Site. The tundra is a cold, treeless area; it is the coldest biome. The tundra is characterized by very low temperatures, very little precipitation (rain or snow), a short growing season, few nutrients, and low biological diversity. The word tundra comes from the Finnish word tunturia, which means "treeless plain." There are two types of tundras, Arctic tundras and alpine tundras.

|Food Chains/ Nutrition Pupil Factsheet
|The Food Chain What is the difference between the 'Food Chain' and 'Food Web?' A popular misnomer, the 'food chain' is not actually a linear chain but a complex web. Energy is passed from one organism to another in a complex network like a spider's web.
|Beach Sands of the World Observe sand samples and find their possible origins.
|Water Cycle Can list the 3 phases of water and understand how heat contributes to the transition from one phase to another. Can discuss the various locations where water is stored on Earth and the processes through which water travels from one location to another. Can describe the water cycle.
|Water Cycle in a 2-Liter Bottle All of the earth's water goes through a cycle in which the water changes its location or physical state through different processes. In accordance with the law of conservation of matter, water is not created or destroyed it just changes form. Water can be found in all three states of matter during the cycle: solid (ice caps), liquid (lakes) and gas (water vapor). Use two 2-Liter bottles to create your own water cycle. Neat activity!!
|The Watershed Game Many things happen in a watershed that affect the quality of the water we rely upon. What are they? Would you make the best decisions in managing your watershed? Examine the issues in each area of the watershed, then see the impacts of your choices!

USB Cable for D90
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus – notice the word Universal. Computers have female A-type plugs so one end of most USB cables have a male A-type plug. The other end may have male B-type, male Micro USB B-type, male Mini USB (8-pin) B-type, male or Mini USB (5-pib) B-type. Nikon uses the Mini USB (5-pin) B-type plug, so any cord with a male Mini USB (5-pin) B-type plub at one end and a male A-type at the other end will work to connect your camera to your computer.
I would strongly suggest that you get card reader and use it rather than your camera. It is real easy to snag the cord and pull the camera off your desk when using a camera-to-computer connect – I speak from experience. I was downloading my files and my Daughter called me, I turned my chair to look at her and the arm of the chair caught the cord. The camera was perched on top of my computer and it was pulled off the tower, and fortunately my reflexes were fast enough that I caught it before it struck the floor.
There is also quite a drain on the battery while the camera is attached if the camera is turned on – the camera will not go to sleep while plugged into the computer. Lastly that Mini plug isn't very big, and it also isn't real durable. Before I retired I worked for one of the large office supply chains and I saw a number of cameras returned due to inoperable USB plugs.
My card reader cost $15 and is a small (about the size of a Thumb Drive) unit that will plug directly into a A-type receptacle or attach with a cord – I leave mine attached all the time with a short cord. The card reader is much faster than the camera when it comes to downloading files. The other nice thing about a card reader is that it shows up on the computer as a mass-storage device so you can both read and write to it – you can only read from the card with the camera-to-computer connection.
While amateurs change the camera's settings; many Pro's prefer to change the light.

- 5-1/2 to 6 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup cold butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk, 1/3 cup sugar, butter and salt; stir until sugar is dissolved. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine the yeast, warm water and remaining sugar; let stand for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the milk and yeast mixtures, eggs and 3 cups flour; beat until smooth. Add enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth, about 6-8 minutes. Place dough in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the sugars, flour and cinnamon; cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; set topping aside. Punch dough down; divide in half. Pat or roll each portion to fit a greased 9-in. round baking pan. With a fork, pierce tops; sprinkle with topping. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes. Remove from pans and cool on wire racks. For filling, in a small saucepan, combine flour and milk until smooth. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened; cool. In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Add flour mixture; beat until fluffy. Split each cake into two horizontal layers; spread each with half the filling. Refrigerate until serving. Yield: 2 cakes.
Reviews forCream-Filled Coffee Cake
My Review
Average Rating
"I had high expectations for this recipe given the description. The "cake" is a heavier sweet bread that took almost 2 hours to rise in my oven proofer. The standard cinamon topping was nice. The "cream" filling does not contain any cream but a thick milk and flour mixture that did not produce a light-whipped filling. Even after adding additional powder sugar, the filling turned into a dense buttercream frosting. The over all flavor of the bread is good but as is the topping, but I cannot recommend this recipe. I am a seasoned baker and enjoy new recipes, however this one is not a keeper."
"I especially like this recipe for the holidays because it can be fixed ahead. My family and guests are always impressed."

Is There A Formula For How Many Candy Melts Per Mold?
Sugar Work By FabricGal Updated 24 Jun 2011 , 7:20pm by TexasSugar
I've been flying by the seat of my pants and got to wondering if there is any kind of way to figure out a the amount of candy melts to use in any particular melt-and-pour candy mold.
I know these can be remelted for future use without any problems, but I would like to get things closer to accurate...and not have so much leftover chocolate (did I just say that?! Leftover chocolate that I EAT! lol )
I guess I should maybe start making notes, huh? That way I'd know how much chocolate I use and how many lollypops I get out of it.
Juuuust wondering if anyone has any tried and true info about this.
I did a search for "formula" but didn't come up with anything for this.
Thanks for any help!
Theres none that I know of since they are all different sizes
I mak ecandy bark with my leftovers. Throw in whatever I have in the cabinets... Craisins, almonds, pretzels... whatever
Chocolate covered popcorn is another good use for left overs.
Really because mold sizes and shapes very so much, I think you'll have to do a trial and error thing then keep notes.
Thanks for the input!!!
Happy almost weekend,
Fab Gal
I don't now if it would work, but you could try to fill the mold with water, then measure how much water that is, then take that measurement and melt some candy melts to fit.

Britain's Orchids
Featuring 60 superb color plates, this is an easy-to-use photographic identification guide to the 51 orchid species native to Britain and Ireland, including their various forms, and 9 species of uncertain provenance. The text includes key identification information, flowering and germination times, and differences between similar species and subspecies. Color distribution maps show where each species has been seen in the past 25 years, while the accompanying text indicates its current location.
"The information included in the book is extremely well thought-out: flowering dates, conservation status, preferred habitats, etc., are clearly given--in both well-written introductory sections and then alongside each species--and are very useful indeed. From explaining what an orchid is to providing a bar chart which shows the flowering period of every orchid on one page, the author has done a great job in helping the novice get to grips with the whole subject of orchids right through to giving the more experienced botanist a thoroughly useable guide."--CharliesBirdBlog

Singapore's oil and gas services provider EMAS Offshore Limited posted a net loss of $3.2 million for the three months ending Nov. 30, 2015 (1Q FY2016) on a revenue of $49.8 million, with its financial performance weighed down by challenging operating conditions arising from a volatile oil price environment, according to financial results released by the firm Monday.
EMAS Offshore's year-on-year revenue declined 32 percent from $72.7 million in 1Q FY2015 and the company indicated in a press release that "weaker top line and gross profitability in 1Q FY2016 were due mainly to softer demand for the group's offshore support vessels, resulting from general weakness in the overall oil and gas industry."
The company added that the average utilization for its offshore support vessels stood at 67 percent.
"The global situation in the oil and gas industry continues to obscure certainty on where oil prices will land and, like all other offshore services players in the industry, we have been impacted in this current down-cycle. Notwithstanding strong industry headwinds, my team and I are working relentlessly to keep our vessels utilized in our existing as well as regions with resilient demand e.g. West Africa," Captain Adarash Kumar, EMAS Offshore's CEO said in his comments on the quarterly results.
Meantime, contributions from EMAS Offshore's associates and joint ventures increased 5 percent and 35 percent year-on-year, respectively, in 1Q FY2016 and the gains were largely driven by the stable performance of the Company's two FPSOs (floating production, storage and offloading facilities) which achieved nearly 100 percent in
"In addition to increasing our focus on vessel utilization, our key priorities also include keeping our balance sheet on even keel. The steps we have taken to reduce costs and improve operational efficiency over the six to 12 months have started to bear fruit. However, we remain cognizant of the uncertainties in the oil price and industry and will persist in our efforts to streamline operations and expenses. We believe this will be key to helping us tide through the current down-cycle," Captain Kumar added.
Parent firm Ezra Holdings Limited had issued Friday a profit guidance with respect to its unaudited consolidated financial results for 1Q FY2016, with the expected net loss attributed mainly to the continuing depressed state of the oil and gas industry which has impacted activities in the global offshore marine and subsea industry.

I n 2005, Honduras elected its first left-leaning president, Manuel Zelaya, thus joining other Latin American countries moving against domination by the "U.S. Empire's" capitalist system, neoliberalism and
Under Zelaya, Hondurans enjoyed free education for children, subsidies for small farmers and lower bank interest rates. The minimum wage increased 80 percent; school meals were guaranteed for 1.6 million poor children; domestic employees were integrated into the social security system, and poverty was reduced sharply.
All this ended June 28, 2009, when a military coup, which was condemned worldwide, deposed the democratically elected Zelaya. Honduras has since become the most violent country with the highest murder rate in the world.
Mark Weisbrot of The Guardian Unlimited wrote in April: "Zelaya later told the press that Washington was involved in the coup itself" and "(the) coup unleashed a wave of violence against political dissent that continues to this day."
Planning for the coup began June 2008 and involved well-established military, business and diplomatic networks, which have long shaped U.S. policy toward Latin America.
Journalist Edward Schumacher-Matos, who has written for the Wall Street Journal, said those involved included Hugo Llorens, the Bush-appointed U.S. ambassador to Honduras, and Thomas Shannon, then assistant secretary of state.
The New York Times reported Llorens and Shannon spoke with military leaders before the coup. Adm. James Stavridis, then head of U.S. Southern Command, met with Honduran military and political leaders in January 2009, praising an "excellent state of cooperation between our two militaries."
It is inconceivable the Honduran military would have acted against the wishes of the U.S. military or Ambassador Llorens and risk losing millions of dollars in military support.
Two truth commissions in 2010 and 2011 said the coup resulted in political persecution, killings committed by state agents, and widespread and violent repression of rights to speech, assembly and association. The second independent commission described the regime as "using terror as a means of social control."
The Center for Constitutional Rights and the Paris-based International Federation for Human Rights reported more than 100 targeted killings, which were part of a broader attack marked by death threats against activists, lawyers, journalists, trade unionists and campesinos.
One of the most violent regions since the 2009 coup is the Lower Aguan river region of northern Honduras, where the country's largest and wealthiest landowner, Miguel Facusse, uses extreme levels of repression — supported by military and police — to forcibly evict campesino communities from their lands to grow African palms for the production of biodiesel and ethanol fuels for world markets. Peaceful protests are met with brutal threats, beatings, torture or death. More than 80 campesinos have been assassinated.
A short documentary titled "Bajo Aguan: The Clamor for Land," which can be viewed online, provides powerful testimony to the horrific effects of land grabs still going on today.
Xiomara Castro de Zelaya, the wife of former President Zelaya, is one of eight candidates vying for the presidency when Hondurans go to the polls Nov. 24. A Gallup poll released in May puts her in the lead.
Fellay is a Carmel Valley resident and board member for the Monterey Peace and Justice Center.

On April 23rd, Obama stopped by the Holocaust Memorial Museum where he mouthed the words, "Never Again" and two days later he issued a memorandum waiving restrictions on funding to the terrorists of the Palestinian Authority, which routinely calls for the murder of Jews, and for its president who has described the Holocaust as a "fantastic lie."
It took Obama a day to disavow his commitment to a united Jerusalem. It took him a little longer to disavow his commitment to "Never Again."
In his memorandum, Obama certified the 192 million dollar aid package as "important to the national security interests of the United States" and White House spokesman Tommy Vietor claimed that it would ensure "the continued viability of the moderate PA government." That same moderate government which has tried to form a pact with Hamas and whose high ranking officials have repeatedly engaged in terrorism.
The Palestinian Accountability Act, which Obama waived with a flourish of the pen, was one in a series of attempts to stem the flow of taxpayer money to the terrorist corruptocracy in Ramallah. The Act mandated that no funds may be made available to the Palestinian Authority until it ends its terrorist activities and an independent audit is conducted of its finances. Rather than complying with the bill, Obama dismissed it by resorting to the transparently fraudulent claim of national security.
So where is that money really going?

XFCE4 for Slack?
Big Question over here:
Is there somebody who build Slackware packages of XFCE4? (www.xfce.org)
I know that it is in RC stage right-now (RC3 to be released today july 30th, and the 1.0 in august) but i'm currently testing it and I only have RC1 installed.... :(
This is currently the best of the best for me (Small/Easy/Configurable, but look's also good... A good one the stands in the middle between a Desktop and a Window-Manager-only...)
Simple solution:
Download XFCE-4-RC3
tar -xvzf <name of file>
cd <name of dir>
And, as root:
make install
And... that's it! :D
Please note that this is exactly what I am going to do, as soon as XFCE 4 is released... ;)
Either that, or you can try linuxpackages.net -- it's highly possible XFCE4 packages are posted there.
Package Made!
I've made a single Slack .tgz package of the full XFCE4 RC2 yesterday night!!!
After many tweaking etc,etc,etc... Got 3 hours of work on it.
Didn't check the size tough... And I only got a 5MB personnal webspace... Which I didn't used... So I have to activate-it from my internet supplier to get my personnal homepage and put SLACK stuff on it. :D
If anyone want to put my file on the net, i'll send it to you...
I didn't compile many soft yet... But I'm getting into it! :p
:newbie: Welcomed!
Great! :D
Like I said, try to go to http://www.linuxpackages.net
I am sure, they will be very pleased to add it to their collection of software for Slackware... if somebody else did not beat you to it!
time to compile...
Nerotique is right.
That's why it took me so long to compile / install / make SlackPack of the XFCE4...
Everything is a module... But the result is so great. (Having to select only the module you want to use!!!) :D
For the filesize, it's approx 30MEGS. So it won't be on my homepage!!! :o (5MEGS only for me!)
And I don't want to upload it to LinuxPackages since it's not the release...
BUT I'm ready to face the release and do the package! :p
SLACK + XFCE4 = Winner!
How did you guys add XFCE4 to your list of WM's for selection at the GDM/KDM screen, all I have is xfce (which equates to 3.x) I have successfully installed xfce4 and can get it running from the command line but I would like to add it to my list. I remember doing someting like this for fluxbox, but did not document what I did:cry: . Thanks for the help
RDanda: In order for XFCE4 to show up in "xwmconfig", you have to install it through a correct Slackware package. Which is why a package with XFCE4-RC3 is good news!
TiPaul: Don't be shy and just post it on LinuxPackages, other people (like rdanda) may like it... :D
If you don't want to re-install the package, you can add a script in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions. Name this script Xfce, or whatever you'd like to call it. It will then show up as an entry in GDM.
You're script might look something like below.
Xnest :1 -name "Xfce4" +kb -ac &
export DISPLAY=:1
xsetroot -display :1 -solid darkblue &
xfwm4 --daemon
xftaskbar4 &
xfdesktop &
exec xfce4-panel
I'm pretty sure this will work. Hope this helps.
XFCE4 Slackware Package
I'll wait until the release version to post the package to Linuxpackages.net ...
Because it takes time to do it and had to manually edit the install script that take care of the change for GDM/KDM...
So look out for the Slack Pack when XFCE4 hit the 1.0 mark!!! ;)
And for the GDM addition of a WM, I'm currently at job, so I don't have my Linux box in front of me. But I think that it's in /etc/GDM or /etc/X11/GDM... or near that...
There is a file that include all the WM available to boot from...
And if I remember well, there must be a .xinitrc_xfce4 (something similar) in the directory /etc/X11/xinit...
If only I had the Linux at job! :rolleyes:
I have built many packages but linuxpackages openly discourages people without better than cable connections. I found this very discouraging. See below from their site:
"Connection requirements:
Well we had to place this requirement for several reasons. Its just not a matter of bandwidth but also concerns about security and stability. Cable modems have show to be very slow on the upload and the stability is in question. Since most are run in someones home this compounds the issue of it being on all the time. The same holds true for most DSL machines. Also having these services on your home machine in most cases will violate your AUP (acceptable use policy). In the past when we accepted these packages we would be flooded with email's when the machine was down or slow. So it was decided to just not allow this. Most people will not dedicate a machine just for serving package and for stability this is what is needed"
If anyone knows somewhere I can distribute my packages I would like to share. Otherwise I'll eventually post them on my site when I get time to mess with it.

'Swamp People' Stars Joe & Tommy Unharmed In Five-Vehicle Pileup Near Arkansas
It was a close call for "Trapper Joe" & "Trigger Tommy" yesterday as the two 'Swamp People' stars were able to walk away from a five-vehicle pileup unharmed near the Arkansas-Louisiana state line. According to the Texarkana Gazette the two alligator hunters – real names Joe LaFont and Tommy Chauvin – had T-shirts and other show merch spill from their truck onto the highway, but luckily neither was hurt.
Police say maintenance work had reduced U.S. 71 to one lane and a line of four cars had stopped for a flagman directing traffic. Authorities say a fifth driver did not stop and smashed into a tractor-trailer, causing the pileup.
[via Texarkana Gazette]
Ultimately, the highway was closed for a period of time as police and other authorities responded to the accident. Three others suffered serious injuries, but fortunately there were no fatalities as a result of the pileup according to Arkansas State Police. The wacky chemistry between Tommy & Joe is one of my favorite reasons to watch 'Swamp People' not to mention they are BIG fans of Hot 107.9, so we're glad they're OK.

Hi, I have some interesting questions. I will need revision rhinoplasty and was wondering, can these grafts and techniques be used all in one revision. - Scar tissue removal - Derotation of nose tip trough suturing - Composite or rim grafts for lowering the nostrils - Alar batten grafts to support weak and concave ala - DC-F or dorsal onlay rib graft to add convexity to nose bridge and to augment - Camouflage grafts(Crushed cartilage) to camouflage dents and irregularities on nasal sidewalls.
Revision Rhinoplasty Different Grafts at Same Operation?
Doctor Answers 5
Revision rhinoplasty and grafts
All of those grafts can certainly be performed in the same operation through revision rhinoplasty surgery. With that amount of change going on inside the nose during a revision rhinoplasty surgery, there stands a higher likelihood that a touchup procedure will need to be performed a year down the road. Look for a nasal surgeon who has performed these procedures often and has extensive experience in revision rhinoplasty surgery.
Revision Rhinoplasty
It is not uncommon to use one or all of these techniques in revision rhinoplasty. At my Austin, Texas area plastic surgery practice I often generally will use many of the techniques listed depending on the current shape of your nose and goals we have with the revision. The first step is meeting with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss options. Good luck! Dr. K
Rhinoplasty and grafts
Multiple grafts may be necessary to produce the desired results, but I can not say without a thorough exan.

A CARETAKER says he has been swept away by the reaction to his retirement after spending almost a quarter of a century at the forefront of school life.
Trevor Whitley, 64, has hung up his broom after 24 years at Alder Grange School in Rawtenstall.
The Calder Road school has organised an evening of celebration for Mr Whitley with former colleagues at Rossendale Rugby Club next Friday.
After starting in 1989, the site supervisor said he fell in love with the job - and his wife, Sylvia, who he met when she was a teaching assistant at the school.
He said: "I have seen four headteachers and three school extensions. I think when I started there were 330 children and 38 staff.
"Now there are 850 children and more than 100 staff - it has grown enormously.
"The job has also changed. Initially it was cleaning but then it became a lot more about site maintenance and I learned from experience."
Mr Whitley, of Holland Avenue, Rawtenstall, said one of his career highlights was trading places with the school's headteacher for a day.
He said: "Mrs McGrath was the headteacher and we had a Red Nose Day and she said to me she was becoming caretaker for the day and I was the head.
"I had to dress in her gown and go into classrooms and say 'Good morning' and the students had to say 'Good morning Sir' back. "That was a nice change but then it was back to the caretakers office the next day."
A firm favourite with students, Mr Whitley, who stepped down last month, admitted he was still getting used to retirement.
He said: "Even now, if I walk around Bury or Rawtenstall I hear children, who are now adults, shout 'Trevor' at me.
"I can honestly say I have enjoyed my working life. You begin as colleagues but it soon turns to friendship with the teachers here.
"Alder Grange is a friendly school. It's unbelievable but we have student teachers year after year who want to stay. They don't want to leave and that's the general consensus of everyone here."
Head of school, Joanna Griffiths, said: "Trevor has been part of the fabric of Alder Grange and will be missed. All the staff and students love him."

Huawei's Mobile World Congress product lineup doesn't only include its first ever wearable device, but also an ultra-affordable, uber-pretty 4.5-inch phone, and a pair of premium-looking aluminum-built Android tablets.
They knew very well they didn't stand a chance to steal Samsung or Sony's thunder on the opening day of MWC 2014, so Huawei bit the bullet and jumped the gun on Sunday. Wise choice, as it would have been a terrible shame to see the Ascend G6, MediaPad X1 and MediaPad M1 go completely unnoticed.
Sure, the trio isn't as "amazing" as Huawei thought. But it's not bad either. The X1 slate in particular looks sizzling hot, with a top-notch 7-inch 1,920 x 1,200 pixels resolution IPS screen, 7 mm waist, 13 MP/5 MP cameras (whoa), 2 GB RAM and comfy 5,000 mAh battery.
The on-board quad-core 1.6 GHz HiSilicon Kirin 910 CPU leaves us feeling Huawei could have done better, and so does the pre-loaded Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, but on the bright side, the 7-incher supports 150 Mbps LTE (aka LTE Cat 4), as well as voice calling.
Oh, and the design. Boy, has Huawei knocked it out of the park aesthetically. The MediaPad X1 is not just incredibly slim and light, but also sturdy as they come, thanks to a smooth metallic finish. And it's not (too) pricey either, rolling out in Europe and Asia "soon" for roughly $545 (399 euros).
Meanwhile, the larger 8-inch MediaPad M1 actually targets folks on tighter budgets, starting at $410 (299 euros) with the same winning design, high-speed LTE support, phone capabilities, quad-core 1.6 GHz SoC, but far inferior display (1,280 x 800 pix res), humdrum 5 MP/1 MP cams, and a mediocre 4,800 mAh juicer.
Finally, the Ascend G6 is in a nutshell a diminutive, heavily downgraded version of the Ascend P6, though again with a winning exterior. Reasonably priced, at $340 (€249), the 4.5-incher is incapable of standing up to, say, Motorola's Moto G, with meager 960 x 540 pixels resolution, Jelly Bean and 2,000 mAh battery.
But hey, it's cute as a button, and packs wicked shooters (8 and 5 MP), plus optional LTE connectivity. All in all, I think Huawei can be pleased with their MWC 2014 efforts.

Tgal: I most certainly will once the medical records open up from the holidays. I learned early in the game, the best keeper of your medical history is yourself. I have a personal binder of all test results I've had done that I take with me to appointments-which has helped tremendously
-magistramarla: thank you, I myself have pcos & have had cysts & fibroids. I'm pretty familiar with gynecological pain. Since discovering I have APS my gyno keeps a pretty close eye on me (actually whom first suggested I had an autoimmune disease after my second appointment with him) and we go in for hcg testing/us every month (have had etopoic I'm the past along with multiple miscarriages) because we've been trying for about 18 months to get pg with no luck so far.
Jmail: they were the lowest I've ever had but didn't realize how low until recently. Supposedly your not suppose to be discharged if your below 90. None too comforting, because I have a lot of lung involvement and history of PEs. St alexian is one they suggested, not where I was-I've been in the past it's actually a pretty decent hospital! My pcp usually does a bang up job at stepping up. He's told off more ER drs than I can count honestly lol my husband & I think that's why he waited there for us so they'd take it seriously. A few trips before an ER physician had discharged me under the dx of constipation when actually my kidneys began to go into mega failure & had to be started on dia in the hospital by my pcp. One of the many times he's reemed someone out! Lol I'm sorry that happened for you, Unless you hit a great one, ERs seem to only be good if your shot or having a heart attack! Lol
My appt got bumped to tomorrow, fingers still crossed we get answers. The pain has only gotten worse over the past few days & I'm about to go out of my head! :-/

The bags under my eyes really started to bother me in my late 40s; they became impossible to hide with makeup. I do a lot of public speaking in my job and was just getting really uncomfortable with how I looked. My eyes were also aging at differnet rates and were noticably different sizes due to sagging upper lids. My doc suggested both lower and upper blepharoplasty with specific attention to my right eye to make it match the left a little better. I was also due for a renewal of Juvederm in my marionnette lines and asked the doc to address the pucker lines around my upper lip. He suggested boosting the upper lip a bit; I took a lot of convincing because my husband HATES the trout pout look, and in the weeks leading up to surgery that's what I was most concerned about.
The staff gave me Vitamin K cream to use for two weeks before surgery to reduce bruising. On the day of surgery my husband dropped me off at 8:30 a.m. and they called him to pick me up around 2 p.m. They gave me Ambien and a scopalomine patch to reduce nausea and wheeled me in to surgery; I remember the doctor drawing on my eyelids with a marker and that's about it until they were waking me up. It wasn't full anesthesia; it was sedation like when you get a colonoscopy, which was good enough for me. Maybe I was awake but I sure don't remember it. Apparently I was pretty hilarious on the way home. I never experienced any pain at any point during surgery or recovery...discomfort, sure, but I never needed the pain meds. I took a half of one each night just to make sleeping upright easier, but nothing ever hurt. The worst part was trying to get my eyes open every morning (swollen and very sticky).
I had the surgery the day before Thanksgiving, so instead of an office-visit follow up, the doc called me on Thanksgiving and told me to come in Monday (Day 5) to have the stitches out. That made Days 2-4 kind of scary...is it supposed to be that red? Is it infected? Am I messing with it too much? Do I have a fever? I'm going to post some healing photos because that's what I found most helpful and reassuring during this phase -- being able to look at other people's healing process. Hope the photos don't gross anybody out.
As soon as the stitches came out, the healing process accelerated. (P.A. took them out; didn't see the doc again until Day 14.)I was able to go out in public with minimal explanation to clients (and big sunglasses) starting on Day 6.
Today is Day 15; the doc cleared me for makeup and working out yesterday. I could not be more delighted with the results, and they get better every day. My left eyelid is more swollen than the right, but evening out more each day. The doc did a great job evening out the size of my eyes and opening them up. I'm very happy with the subtle change to my upper lip. And the horrible bags? Gone, baby, gone.

The murder of Antiq Henis is a reminder that liberals like Judge Shira Scheindlin have the blood of the very black people they claim to be trying to protect on their hands.
The murder of Antiq Henis, a 1 year old boy shot in his stroller in Brownsville, Brooklyn, by an assailant in a likely act of gang violence targeting his father is exactly the kind of crime that Stop and Frisk was meant to prevent.
In 2010, the New York Times described 52,000 police Stop and Frisk stops being made in Brownsville.
This small army of officers, night after night, spends much of its energy pursuing the controversial Police Department tactic known as "Stop, Question, Frisk," and it does so at a rate unmatched anywhere else in the city.
On the inner streets, dozens of officers, many fresh out of the police academy, walk in pairs or linger on corners. Others, deeper within the urban grid, navigate a maze of public housing complexes, patrolling the stairwells and hallways.
Between January 2006 and March 2010, the police made nearly 52,000 stops on these blocks and in these buildings.
When night falls, police officers blanket some eight odd blocks of Brownsville, Brooklyn. Squad cars with flashing lights cruise along the main avenues: Livonia to Powell to Sutter to Rockaway. And again.
Antiq Hennis was shot at Livonia Avenue and Bristol Street in in the Marcus Garvey Village project. Unfortunately by then, Stop and Frisk had already been eliminated by Judge Shira Scheindlin, better known as Judge Judy's daughter, a liberal judge appointed by Bill Clinton.
The murder of Antiq Henis is a reminder that liberals like Judge Shira Scheindlin have the blood of the very black people they claim to be trying to protect on their hands.

I had Radiesse injected into the nasolabial folds just under two weeks ago. It came out well. I am scheduled for a facial/extraction tomorrow and I am slightly worried that my aggressive (but thorough) esthetician may displace the Radiesse. I can't see it under my skin, but when I touch it, I can feel a soft mass. I don't know if it is supposed to feel like this or not, but it looks good so I'm thinking that maybe this is what provides support to the area.
I was starting to look older, with lines. I wanted something temporary but with good results. I've had other fillers in the past, including Perlane, Juvederm, and Restylane. I've always had good results in this same facial area. I chose Radiesse because it is supposed to last longer. I would have chosen a shorter-lasting filler if it were my first time.
I went to a med spa and had it injected by an MD. I've also had injections from an RN in the past. I've never had any bruising, just some swelling but that may have been from a dental block that time. I do not recommend the dental block. It just seems excessive. This time the MD injected some Lidocaine first and by the time it was time for the fillers, I felt nothing. The results are immediate and nobody has ever said I look different, just better rested. I am 40.Will an aggressive facial/extraction treatment cause filler to migrate elsewhere? Is there a possibility that the mass can become "broken up" and migrate elsewhere, thus, losing the good results there? Thank you.

Control of the sound generated by each bagpipe is done through a self styled keyboard composed of photosensitive switches. Covering a switch blocks light to the sensor thereby activating a key which in turn tells a valve to release air through the reed.
Covering a switch is accomplished through the use of a scrolling sheet of mylar with painted black bars, similar to player pianos of the early 20th century. Hawkinson describes his device as a light sensitive piano.
The music played by uberorgan is a score composed by Hawkinson based on old Pentecostal church hymns and Swan Lake . To avoid a score that is too repetitive and predictable, Hawkinson included the use of filters, key shifters and scale inverters, which randomly adjusted the sound of each note, resulting in a more diverse range of sound.
The photo above gives some perspective of the massive size of Tim Hawkinson's Uberorgan creation
Imagined and created by artist Tim Hawkinson, the Uberorgan (or Überorgan) was initially created for a 15,000 square foot gallery at MassMOCA in 2001. The challenge of filling the volume of the gallery is what gave birth to the Uberorgan: how to create something that had a strong visual presence in such a large volume of space while simultaneously having strong auditory presence. The result was accomplished by Hawkinson adjusting his process by building models of the space to study how he would accomplish filling the space and avoid being caught "shorthanded". The final product involved a series of large scale balloons that were effectively large bagpipes producing music.
"Several bus-size biomorphic balloons, each with its horn tuned to a different in the octave, make up a walk-in self-playing organ. A 200 foot-long scroll of dots and dashes encodes a musical score of old hymns, pop classics, and improvisational ditties. This score is deciphered by the organ's brain - a bank of light sensitive switches - and then reinterpreted by a series of switches and relays that translate the original patterns into non-repeating variations of the score."
"Uberorgan" is a massive musical machine that encompasses the six rooms. The one piece of sculpture is the show. The complexity in the organization of each functional part as it relates to the whole is staggering. Like being on a large sailboat mixed with a player piano mixed with a hot air balloon. This "musical" instrument manages to be mechanically overt, where its exposed form follows function, while at the same time representational. Its organic form is molded after the interior organs of the human body. A thin net held together by hundreds of plastic clamps keep the floating forms in place. The stitching together of the white nylon fabric, inflated by massive air pumps above the high ceilings, recalls rigging on sails of a ship. The stitching is the only aspect of the installation that Hawkinson did not do himself. This white material, used as a skin for the giant wind instrument, could easily have made the "Uberorgan" feel like a piece of cold machinery. But ultimately it does not. The warm hues of the extension chords and the web-like binding materials imbue a vascular quality on the synthetic tissue. -- Moshun Jacker

I don't usually post reviews but our stay at the Atlantic hotel was really disappointing..
the breakfast tasted terrible, the eggs and sausage looked like plastic and the pastries were way too sweet. On the second day of our stay we decided to skip it and go to a itallian bakery is really cheap. Regarding the room, it was really small but clean which is a good point. Howerver the hotel was so noisy, you can hear people talking, shutting doors, sneezing... which is why I won't book again there. What's the point of a booking a 4 stars hotel if you can't sleep.. I would say that this hotel is a 3 stars definitively not a 4, due to noise , quality of the room, rudeness of the receptionist and disappointing gym (2 machines out of 4 were working and the gym is really small) ..

Factory Yamaha riders Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies will ride in this special 'Race-Blu' livery during the San Marino and Aragon MotoGPs.
The livery, by Italian designer Aldo Drudi, features a contrasting combination of Yamaha Blue and matt grey bodywork, and will be run to celebrate the launch of the new 'Race Blu' Series on selected Yamaha production models.
Lorenzo and Spies will also wear special leathers to complement the bike.
The YZF-R1, YZF-R6 and YZF-R125 unveiled today in Misano will be the first production models to feature the new livery for the 2013 model year.
This will be the first time a Yamaha special livery used in grand prix racing will be available at the same time for consumers to buy on production motorcycles.
"I am very proud to ride with these special colours," said world championship leader Lorenzo. "The Yamaha racing colours are always very iconic and have a great history. It's very cool that racing fans will be able to ride in the same colours that we race in!"
"It's another really cool special livery from Yamaha," added Spies. "The red and white one brought me a lot of luck last year with my win in Assen so I'm hoping this Race-Blu will do the same here in Misano and Aragon!"
See below for further pictures.

The Question is:
How do I change the timeout for ftp? That is, how do I shorten the timeout when the target node doesn't exist?
The Answer is :
The OpenVMS Wizard would typically use ping here, rather than adjusting the system-wide TCP connection timers just for the FTP utility or the DCL command COPY/FTP.

Imagine what it must be like to be in TV On the Radio. Everybody loves your music. The name TV On the Radio is name dropped by everybody who knows anything about music. You're having fun, making music, travelling the globe, playing shows, making more music, playing more shows ...
Which is exactly what lead to the break. It was becoming too much for the band.
"Everybody went into it with the idea that we weren't going to have to give over our lives completely, but then that kind of happened in a lot of ways for about six years consecutively" said Kyp Malone when speaking to Clash Music.
"Things that took time which were outside of the band had to be put to one side and not dealt with. We need to have time to live our lives, otherwise all the potential joy of that very fortunate work can disappear. It can just be work, and nobody wanted that so it was time to take a break."
It might be a while before they get back together. Kyp Malone has his Rain Machine project, other band members have their own side projects and studio work for other bands. Plus, they'll probably need time to pass, just so they can get excited about TV on the Radio and have new ideas again. So how long will it be before they start up again?
According to Kyp Malone: "Probably just shy of long enough!"

Did you like the look of those T-Mobile-branded BlackBerry Torch 9810 dummy units from last week? If so, you'll be glad to know the real thing is still on track to launch on November 9th, with business customers getting a pre-order head start the week before on November 2nd. Pricing for T-Mobile's Torch 9810 has yet to be revealed.
So far the portrait-sliding members of the BlackBerry Torch family have been exclusive to AT&T, so it's good to see the RIM mixing things up with the 9810 and bringing it to T-Mobile's shelves. And on a semi-related note: now that the Torch 9810 is about to hit Magenta, we can only hope that the Bold 9900 — which T-Mobile has had for a couple of months now — will indeed be "coming soon" to AT&T. I'm not sure that the AT&T BlackBerry fans, who have been enjoying Bold devices since the first one launched back in 2008, can wait much longer for it.

This is the starfish mirror frame that I've been working on for about six months now. That's both because it's pretty large (2.5 ft x 2.5 ft) and because I could only find a couple of hours a week to spend on it, when the kids were in bed and the chores were done and I still had some energy left. I'm really excited to have it completed over the next couple of weeks now that an office job no longer takes up eight hours of my day. This thing is going to be tremendous.
The main idea behind this design is that of contrasting the organic starfish shapes with the geometrically regular rippling waves of the background. I wanted each starfish shape to be unique and as realistic-looking as possible. The shapes were all drawn from photos, and it took a few tries to figure out a tiling pattern that would accurately represent the pentaradial surface patterns of starfish while requiring minimal tile cutting – i.e. one that would be based on whole or half-tiles only and not, for example, on triangles or very narrow wedges.
I also enjoy exploring the interplay of varying tile textures and the different effects they have on the overall appearance of the mosaic as the viewing angle or the light changes – hence the alternating iridescent and plain white curves of the background. Mmmmm – curves. I love tiling curves. Expressing a smooth sinuous shape with small square straight-edged tiles is kind of like integration, and a brush with infinity.

MALVERNE, PA -- USA Technologies said it has filed counterclaims against the dissident shareholders who filed suit in federal court to prevent it from rescheduling its annual meeting from Dec. 15, 2009, to June 15, 2010.
The manufacturer of cashless-payment and energy-saving devices for vending machines alleges that the dissident shareholders, Bradley Tirpak and Craig Thomas, violated the Security Exchange Act in their attempt to get their three candidates elected to the board of directors.
USAT accused the shareholders, who call themselves Shareholder Advocates for Value Enhancement (SAVE), of soliciting proxy votes for their board candidates from more than 10 people without filing a proxy statement. It also charged that they made numerous false and misleading statements and omissions in their proxy solicitations, press releases and the written presentation they used but never filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Under a stipulation to the suit that Tirpak and Thomas filed on Dec. 14, USAT agreed to convene its annual meeting on Dec. 15 as originally scheduled, accept votes and then adjourn the meeting pending the court's ruling on SAVE's motion to prevent it from moving the meeting to next June.
In its counterclaim, USAT is asking the court to declare that the votes solicited by SAVE are null and void, and direct that the annual meeting be held next June.
Separately, a recent Philadelphia Inquirer editorial attributed the dissident shareholders' actions to problems USAT shares with many software firms. It has an attractive product, but hasn't yet been able to sell it profitably.
USAT has effectively been refining its cashless systems to meet the market and signing up customers for a decade, but has been losing money for just as long, according to analysts. The Inquirer quoted one of them as saying its ePort card reader "makes sense, but profits have been hard to come by." The analyst noted that operators see the merits of cashless vending, but far too few of them have yet been willing to pay $500 per device. USAT responded by making two smaller versions priced at $199 and $329. But so far there are only around 65,000 card readers at eight million U.S. vending machines, the newspaper pointed out.
USAT has raised $48 million from stock sales since 2005 and reportedly remains virtually debt-free. The company also recently laid off 20% of its workforce to keep expenses in line. But despite the company's projections that it will be profitable by late next year, its shares have been declining in value.
USA Technologies, based here, provides cashless payment solutions to the vending, kiosk, online laundry and self-serve point of sale markets. Its ePort systems have been installed in traditional vending markets, as well as in the photo kiosk, laundry service, hospitality, coffee, entertainment, transportation, gas station and convenience store industries.

Why are crowdfunders happy to pay more for less?
I profiled Jordan Raynor's Citizinvestor a few months ago. Raynor just sent over a video of him speaking at TEDx Tampa Bay on why some citizens are happier to pay more for less when it comes to civic projects. I think he gets to some fundamental motivations about what makes people pull out their wallets — and why they get particularly touchy about certain types of government investments.
What do you think? How do you convince your customers, users, or audience to fund projects, whether philanthropic or otherwise? Let me know at email@example.com, and follow@HiveBoston on Twitter.

Britney Spears ex Kevin Federline has been named Father of The Year – for the second time!
The Fedster who has been embroiled with a custody battle with Brit over their two sons received the accolade from the Las Vegas swank spot Prive.
He will be given the award at the nightclub before Father's Day June 15.
Previously K-Fed snared Top Pop from Details who named him one of their Fathers of the Year along with Larry Birkhead, Ann Nicole Smith's ex.
Then again, Dina Lohan was named Mother of the Year but that was before her surreality show aired.
